abstract = "Supercritical interplanetary shock waves can impact the Earths
magnetosphere, causing a variety of changes affecting since the
bow shock to the radiation belts. A topic that remains under
investigation in the literature is the influence of shock
obliquity on the relativistic particle population in the inner
magnetosphere. In this sense, we carried out case studies focused
on quasi-parallel supercritical interplanetary shock waves, to
analyze the relativistic electron flux (1.8 to 3.4 MeV)
variability in the outer radiation belt due to mechanisms
triggered under the influence of this class of shocks. The set of
events happened during Van Allens Probes Era (2012-2019). During
this period, 26 shocks are identified as supercritical using low
beta and high fast mach number as criteria. Among them, 8 shocks
are distinguished as quasi-parallel using the mixed modes method
of shock normal calculation. Although all shocks exhibit the same
type of obliquity and have similar conditions, we observed
different responses in the outer radiation belt, such as
time-varying responses of the relativistic electron flux and
variability in different regions of the outer radiation belt, from
5.0 to 3.5 Re. Through analysis of phase space density profiles,
we identified different mechanisms that contributed to this
variability, like radial diffusion driven by Ultra-Low Frequency
(ULF) waves and local acceleration driven by Chorus waves. In
three events we inferred variability induced by Chorus waves,
three showed radial diffusion driven by ULF waves and in two of
the events was not clear which mechanism affected the outer
radiation belt relativistic population. These results contribute
to the understanding the role of interplanetary shocks in the
generation of physical mechanisms responsible for the outer
radiation belt electron flux variability.",
