Duration of Individual Relativistic Electron Microbursts: A Probe Into Their Scattering Mechanism

Abstract
We used the Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer to identify and quantify the duration of relativistic,MeV, electron microbursts. A typical relativistic microburst has amillisecond (ms) duration, and the interquartile range of the duration distribution is 70–140 ms. We investigated trends in the microburst duration as a function of geomagnetic activity, L‐shell, and magnetic local time (MLT). The clearest trend is in MLT: the median microburst duration doubles from 75 milliseconds at midnight to 140 milliseconds noon MLT. This trend is similar to the whistler mode chorus rising tone element duration trend, suggesting a possible relationship.
