Nonthermal ion velocity distributions may drive kinetic instabilities which lead to enhanced field fluctuations near ω{sub r} ≈ Ω{sub p} in the magnetosphere. These fluctuations resonate with, and thus scatter, both ions and electrons. Ions are thermalized. Fast electrons undergo both pitch-angle scattering and acceleration.
