Differentiating Between the Leading Processes for Electron Radiation Belt Acceleration

Differentiating Between the Leading Processes for Electron Radiation Belt Acceleration

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. Determining the dominant pathways to plasma energization is a central challenge for radiation belt science and space we...
