abstract = "The coupling response between solar wind structures and the
magnetosphere is highly complex, leading to different effects in
the outer radiation belt electron fluxes. Most Coronal Mass
Ejections cause strong geomagnetic storms with short recovery
phases, often 12 days. By contrast, High-Speed Solar Wind Streams
lead to moderate and weak storms often with much longer recovery
phases, from several to \∼10 days. The magnetosphere
receives energy for a long time under the influence of the HSSs,
considerably changing its dynamics. This in turn has an effect on
the charged particles trapped in the outer radiation belt.
Although the high-energy electron flux enhancements have received
considerable attention, the high-energy electron flux enhancement
pattern (L > 4) has not. This paper identifies 37 events with this
enhancement pattern in the high-energy electron flux during the
Van Allen Probes era. We find the enhancements coincident with HSS
occurrence. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) exhibits
north/south Bz fluctuations of Alfv{\'e}nic nature with moderate
amplitudes. The high-energy electron flux enhancements also
correspond to long periods of auroral activity indicating a
relationship to magnetotail dynamics. However, the AE index only
reaches moderate values. Ultra-Low Frequency waves were present in
all of the events and whistler-mode chorus waves were present in
89.1% of the events, providing a convenient scenario for
wave-particle interactions. The radial gradient of the ULF wave
power related to the L, under the influence of the HSSs, is
necessary to trigger the physical processes responsible for this
type of high-energy electron flux enhancement pattern.",
