Scientific paper

Detailed analysis of Pioneer 10 data shows that the observed counting rates within the magnetosphere of Jupiter were caused primarily by electrons. This identification holds for the magnetodisc region as well as for the central magnetosphere. Absolute omnidirectional intensities of electrons in the magnetodisc are presented for five integral energy ranges: Ee greater than 0.06, greater than 0.55, greater than 5, greater than 21, and greater than 31 MeV. A model electron differential energy spectrum is found to fit the observed intensities throughout most of the encounter trajectory. It is suggested that the observed spectral shape may be interpreted as resulting from losses of high energy electrons by pitch angle scattering.
