Equilibrium Structure of Radiation Belt Electrons


AuthorLyons, Lawrence; Thorne, Richard;
KeywordsLocal Loss due to VLF/ELF/EMIC Waves
AbstractThe detailed quiet time structure of energetic electrons in the earth\textquoterights radiation belts is explained on the basis of a balance between pitch angle scattering loss and inward radial diffusion from an average outer zone source. Losses are attributed to a combination of classical Coulomb scattering at low L and whistler mode turbulent pitch angle diffusion throughout the outer plasmasphere. Radial diffusion is driven by substorm associated fluctuations of the magnetospheric convection electric field.
