Reproduction of auroral cyclotron emission mechanisms in laboratory experiments and 3D simulations

Efficient (~1%) electron cyclotron radio emissions are known to originate in the X-mode from regions of locally depleted plasma in the Earth's polar magnetosphere. These emissions are commonly referred to as the Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR). Two populations of electrons exist with rotatio...
