We use the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation to study the statistical aspects of stochastic dynamics of the radiation belt (RB) protons driven by nonlinear electromagnetic ion-cyclotron (EMIC) wave packets. We obtain the spectra of keV protons scattered by these waves that showsteeping near the gyroresonance, the signature of resonant wave-particle interaction that cannot be described by a simple power law. The most likely mechanism for proton precipitation events in RBs is shown to be nonlinear wave-particle interaction, namely, the scattering of RB protons into the loss cone by EMIC waves.
The first estimation of the incompressible energy cascade rate at magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scales in the plasma upstream of the Martian bow shock is obtained, making use of magnetic field and plasma observations provided by Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) over 600 orbits. In particular, the energy cascade rate is computed for events with and without proton cyclotron wave (PCW) activity, for time intervals when MAVEN was in the solar wind with no magnetic connection to the bow shock. It is shown that the nonlinear cascade of energy at the MHD scales is slightly amplified when PCWs are present in the plasma, around the Martian perihelion. In addition, the analysis of the normalized cross helicity and residual energy for the turbulent fluctuations shows the presence of Alfvenic and non-Alfvenic fluctuations in a magnetic dominant regime for the majority of the cases.
