[PEM11-11] Cross-energy coupling between magnetosonic waves to electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves through cold ion heating

Fast magnetosonic waves (MSWs) are commonly observed in the equatorial inner magnetosphere. Past numerical simulations show that MSWs can accelerate low-energy ions through cyclotron resonance, although the observational evidence is still unclear. The Arase satellite found an event of perpendicular heating of low-energy protons simultaneously with enhancement of MSWs. Using the wave-particle interaction analysis (WPIA), we obtain direct evidence of energy transfer from the observed MSWs to the low-energy (26 – 725 eV) protons. We found these protons give their energies to electro-magnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves with frequencies just below the local proton cyclotron frequency. Since MSW is excited by a ring-like distribution of ions, this analysis suggests that a part of energies of the ring current ions is transferred to the low-energy ions through excitation and damping of MSWs in the inner magnetosphere, and then, a part of the transferred energies is spent to excite high-frequency EMIC waves.
