UBER v1.0: a universal kinetic equation solver for radiation belts [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 Recent proceedings in radiation belt studies have proposed new requirements for numerical methods to solve the kinetic equations involved. In this article, we present a numerical solver that can solve the general form of the radiation belt Fokker–Planck ...

Does Uranus' Asymmetric Magnetic Field Produce a Relatively Weak Proton Radiation Belt?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Since the Voyager 2 flyby in 1986 the radiation belts of Uranus have presented a problem for physicists. The observations indicate the electron radiation belt is far more intense than the proton radiation belt, and while the electron intensities are ...

Radiation Belts and Their Environment [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractThe Van Allen radiation belts of high-energy electrons and ions, mostly protons, are embedded in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere where the geomagnetic field is close to that of a magnetic dipole. Understanding of the belts requires a thorough knowledge of the inner magnetosphere and its dynamics, the coupling of the solar wind to the ...

Atmospheric losses of radiation belt electrons [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2003 A numerical model of the low‐altitude energetic electron radiation belt, including the effects of pitch angle diffusion into the atmosphere and azimuthal drift, predicts lifetimes and longitude‐dependent loss rates as a function of electron energy and diffusion coefficient.

Superfast precipitation of energetic electrons in the radiation belts of the Earth
Nature Communications, 2022 Energetic electron densities in the radiation belt increases during geomagnetic storms. Here, the authors show oblique whistler mode waves enhance electron losses and create strong fluxes of about 100 keV electrons precipitating into the atmosphere, that

Constraining the Location of the Outer Boundary of Earth's Outer Radiation Belt
Earth and Space Science, 2021 Characterizing the location of the outer boundary of the outer radiation belt is a key aspect of improving radiation belt models and helps to constrain our understanding of the mechanisms by which the source and seed electron populations are transported ...

Survey of ELF-VLF plasma waves in outer radiation belt observed by Cluster STAFF-SA experiment [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 Various types of plasma waves have profound effects on acceleration and scattering of radiation belt particles. For the purposes of radiation belt modeling it is necessary to know statistical distributions of plasma wave parameters.
