Discovery of the Earth's Van Allen radiation belts by instruments flown on Explorer 1 in 1958
was the first major discovery of the Space Age. The observation of distinct inner and outer …

In this paper, the particle acceleration processes around magnetotail dipolarization fronts
(DFs) were reviewed. We summarize the spacecraft observations (including Cluster …

We investigate the importance of electron scattering by magnetosonic waves in the Earth's
inner magnetosphere. A statistical survey of the magnetosonic wave amplitude and wave …

Abstract The Relativistic Electron-Proton Telescope (REPT) instruments were designed to
measure∼ 2 to> 18 MeV electrons and∼ 18 to> 115 MeV protons as part of the science …

Various physical processes are known to cause acceleration, loss, and transport of
energetic electrons in the Earth's radiation belts, but their quantitative roles in different time …

Radiation belt electrons can exhibit different types of pitch angle distributions in response to
various magnetospheric processes. Butterfly distributions, characterized by flux minima at …

We quantify the electron scattering effects of simultaneous plasmaspheric hiss and
magnetosonic waves that occurred in two neighboring time intervals but with distinct wave …

We provide a post-mission assessment of the science and data from the Electric and
Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the …

Van Allen radiation belts are typically two zones of energetic particles encircling the Earth
separated by the slot region. How the outer radiation belt electrons are accelerated to …

This open access book serves as textbook on the physics of the radiation belts surrounding
the Earth. Discovered in 1958 the famous Van Allen Radiation belts were among the first …
