摘要:Resonant interactions of relativistic electrons with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves
were previously considered under the cold plasma approximation or in hot plasmas with bi‐Maxwellian
distributions. Here, we examine their resonant interactions in hot plasmas with partial shell distributions and
find that such distributions can significantly alter the dispersion relation of EMIC waves and thus the
corresponding wave‐induced electron pitch angle scattering rates and loss timescales compared to those under
the cold plasma assumption. Regardless of wave band and frequency, partial shell distributed hot protons tend to
uplift the electron minimum resonant energy, and reduce (raise) the pitch angle scattering rates of electrons at
low (high) energies and large (small) pitch angles. Correspondingly, the loss timescales lengthen for low‐energy
electrons but shorten for high‐energy electrons. Such tendencies are generally more significant for lowerfrequency
EMIC waves and larger shell temperature, anisotropic degree, and concentration
