Quantifying Electron Precipitation Driven by Chorus Waves Using Self‐Consistent Particle‐In‐Cell Simulations

The precipitation of tens to hundreds of keV electrons from Earth's magnetosphere plays a crucial role in magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling, primarily driven by chorus wave scattering. Most existing simulations of electron precipitation rely on test particle models that neglect particle feedback on waves. However, both theoretical and observational studies indicate that the feedback from energetic electrons significantly influences chorus wave excitation and evolution. In this study, we quantify electron precipitation driven by chorus waves using self‐consistent simulations at L = 6 with typical magnetospheric plasma parameters. Electrons in the ∼10–200 keV range are precipitated, exhibiting energy‐dispersive characteristics. The precipitation intensity reaches ∼ , consistent with the typical values in observations. As a comparison, test particle simulations underestimate the precipitation intensity by nearly an order of magnitude. These results highlight the importance of self‐consistent simulations in quantifying electron precipitation and investigating wave‐particle interactions that modulate magnetospheric dynamics.
