Scaling laws for the inner structure of the radiation belts
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Accurately modeling the evolution of the electron radiation belts within the plasmasphere represents both an imperative goal for space weather forecasting and a great challenge.

Dynamics of Radiation Belt Particles [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2012 This paper reviews basic concepts of particle dynamics underlying theoretical aspect of radiation belt modeling and data analysis. We outline the theory of adiabatic invariants of quasiperiodic Hamiltonian systems and derive the invariants of particle motion trapped in the radiation belts.

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 ...

Chorus wave-normal statistics in the Earth's radiation belts from ray tracing technique [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Discrete ELF/VLF (Extremely Low Frequency/Very Low Frequency) chorus emissions are one of the most intense electromagnetic plasma waves observed in radiation belts and in the outer terrestrial magnetosphere.

Discovery of a transient radiation belt at Saturn [PDF]
, 2008 Radiation belts have been detected in situ at five planets. Only at Earth however has any variability in their intensity been heretofore observed, in indirect response to solar eruptions and high altitude nuclear explosions. The Cassini spacecraft's MIMI/

Differentiating Between the Leading Processes for Electron Radiation Belt Acceleration
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Many spacecraft fly within or through a natural and variable particle accelerator powered by the coupling between the magnetosphere and the solar wind: the Earth’s radiation belts.

A model of the secondary radiation belt [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2008 Products of nuclear reactions between primary radiation belt protons and constituents of the tenuous upper atmosphere form a collocated secondary radiation belt. A calculation of the time‐dependent secondary intensity provides a model specification of this environmental component for low‐ and medium‐altitude satellite orbits.

Dependence of Energetic Electron Precipitation on the Geomagnetic Index Kp and Electron Energy [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2013 It has long been known that the magnetospheric particles can precipitate into the atmosphere of the Earth. In this paper we examine such precipitation of energetic electrons using the data obtained from low-altitude polar orbiting satellite ...
