Scientific paper

On the basis of investigations conducted by Birmingham et al. (1974), it appears that synchrotron radiation is a major deceleration mechanism for relativistic electrons trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field. In this connection, it would be of interest to have available some simple expressions for the bounce-average transport coefficients which appear in the Fokker-Planck equation. A description is presented of a study in which averages considered by previous investigators have been extended to arbitrary equatorial pitch angles. The employed method of averaging makes use of an approximation expression reported by Davidson (1976).
