6. 12.6.2007Finland and ILWS6 WARP: Waves and relativistic particles Four S/C constellation 6000 km x 36000 km equatorial (i  10 – 20 deg.) 100 – 500 km separation Focus on details of the inner magnetospheric physics Full fields and particles suite on each satellite

7. 12.6.2007Finland and ILWS7 WARP: Ultimate science goal Understanding of the production of the MeV electrons in the inner magnetosphere How do plasma waves drive electron and ion acceleration, transport and loss processes ? How do the perpendicular and parallel current systems couple to plasma pressure anisotropies and gradients on the thermal ion scale ? What is the role of the structuring of EM fields and low-energy plasma environment on the distribution of the most important wave modes ?
