Cosmic rays and trapped protons as a source of the Earth’s positron radiation belt
The possible existence of a positron radiation belt in the inner magnetosphere of the Earth, its space localization, flux and energy distribution and the ratio of e+/e- flux are considered. We suggest for the positron generation the decay of charged pions born in nuclear reactions of the trapped...
