Collaborations
External collaborations are an integral part of the DREAM
effort. Here is a short list of external partners in
this program.
- Jay Albert (AFRL)
has an extensive expertise in diffusion solvers and radiation
belt physics. He will collaborate with us on
diagonalizing the diffusion tensor.
- Sebastien Bourdarie (ONERA)
is an expert on radiation belt physics and our contact
for the Salammbo code. He will help us with further
developoment of Salammbo and data intercalibration.
- Richard Thorne (UCLA)
studies the role of wave-particle interactions in collisionless space plasmas.
Wave induced scattering is responsible for the injection and loss of energetic
particles from the radiation belts of a planet, and the deposition of energy
into the middle atmosphere. Wave-particle scattering can also cause the transfer
of energy from one particle population to another, and ultimately to stochastic
acceleration processes at extremely high energies.
- Yuri Shprits (UCLA)
is interested in the high variability of electron fluxes during strom time conditions.
He is also working on diffusion codes, local accelerations, losses, and data assimilation.
