Leveraged New Programs and ImpactThe successful completion of this project will have impact both in scientific discovery and in programmatic application. While developing a fundamental new capability for space weather we will discover how relativistic electrons are accelerated, how they are lost, the conditions that produce those changes and how the coupled plasma populations in the inner magnetosphere operate as a system. This new and unique capability for the nation, is in demand by both civilian and national security agencies and is therefore ideally suited to Los Alamos' mission. DARPA, AFRL and the intelligence community have programs that demand this capability once it is developed but are not directed at capability development. This project bridges that gap. |
