Free Energy Sources: Reflected Electrons in Magnetosphere Converging Magnetic Field Lines above Crustal Magnetic Fields Loss Cone Beam Plasma Electrons Follow Magnetic Field Lines Field Lines and Reflect from E & B Beam + Loss Cone: Beam + Loss Cone: Secondary Electrons Produced By Combined Accelerated Upward Magnetic & Electrostatic g D Downward d Electric Field E = ‐ U Δ Effects Near Surface

Polarization Properties B0 Waves propagating anti ‐ parallel to field Narrowband EXB Coherent E B Right ‐ Handed Right Handed Parallel ‐ Propagating • Wave properties all consistent with parallel propagating whistlers coming down • Wave properties all consistent with parallel ‐ propagating whistlers coming down the magnetic field line towards the Moon

Instability Conditions Streaming instabilities where df/dv || positive g || p EFI SCW Whistlers correlate with edges of loss cone: i.e. df/dv perp positive Reduced Distribution Function Whistler Mode: ω /k, ( ω ce ‐ω )/k

Ions in the Mix? • Waves near f i modulate both the electron beam and the whistlers Waves near f ci modulate both the electron beam and the whistlers • Possible sources: Electron beam, shadowed ion distributions, bi ‐ ion streaming ICW ? ICWs? Electron Beam Modulated Electron Beam Modulated Loss Cone Modulated Whistlers Modulated FGM Wavelets Proton & Helium Cyclotron Frequencies
