Scientific paper

The paper reexamines the problem of particle injection by Io and subsequent radial diffusion by flux tube interchange using a proper phase space density formulation. The mathematical formalism is developed, and the theoretical results are compared with the observations, taking into account the pitch angle and energy coverage of the detector on Pioneer 10. Two objectives are pursued: (1) to test the hypothesis of Siscoe and Chen (1977) that Io is the source for all of the plasma observed by Frank et al. (1976) inside 10 R(J); and (2) to describe a simple but flexible method intended to analyze the observations of any other plasma instrument flown through the inner Jovian magnetosphere, e.g., those on Voyager 1 and 2 and Galileo.
