Radial dependence of ionization losses of protons of the Earth's radiation belts

Coulomb losses and charge exchange of protons are considered in detail. On the basis of modern models of the plasmasphere and the exosphere, the radial dependences of the rates of ionization losses of protons, with <i>μ</i> from 0.3 to 10 keV nT<sup>−1</sup>, of the Earth&...
