英文摘要 | Electron beam structures generated in the Earth's near-space play very important roles in influencing the space radiation environment. The dynamics of the electron beams travelling in free space are mainly dominated by space-charge effects, which lead to the longitudinal elongation and transverse spread simultaneously. Based on our developed kinetic particle-in-cell model, we investigate the spatial-temporal evolution of the electron beam structures propagating parallel to the Earth's magnetic field at L similar to 2 (L is equal to the geocentric altitude in Earth-radii of the local magnetic field line where it crosses the equator). We find that the electron beams travelling in the Earth's magnetic field appear transverse confinement with some periodic oscillations. By tracing the single particle motion, we validate that in the transverse direction the electrons are affected by both the electrostatic repulsion caused by the self-field, and the Lorentz force caused by the Earth's magnetic field. Furthermore, we confirm that the electrostatic repulsion dominates the initial stage of the electron beam motion, while the Lorentz force dominates the following periodic oscillations of the beam structure. Depending on the parametric analysis with different ambient magnetic fields, we further examine the impact of the magnetic field on the beam structure evolutions, and find that the oscillation period of the electron beam structure is roughly the same as the electron cyclotron period. Our results suggest that the Earth' s magnetic field is very important to dynamics of the beam structures, which will advance our understanding on the evolution of electron beam structures travelling in the geo-space environment. |
