Scientific paper

The Jovian satellites and ring are continuously bombarded by high-energy galactic cosmic rays and magnetospheric ions. Nuclear interactions will create very energetic neutrons and pions. The decay of some of these unstable particles within the Jovian magnetosphere will result in trapped protons and ultrarelativistic electrons and positrons. Although this source is weak compared to those that yield lower-energy magnetospheric particles, it is expected to generate the most energetic Jovian particles. These processes are briefly described.
