Scientific paper

During magnetic storms, solar energetic particles (SEPs) can become trapped in the inner magnetosphere. Ions near geosynchronous distances may only be temporarily trapped, while particles reaching L<4 can be trapped for many days. Physics based models can be used to model the differential fluxes of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) during magnetic storms. This can be carried out by using a combination of MHD simulations driven by the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) upstream of the magnetosphere and particle tracing calculations in the time dependent electric and magnetic fields from the MHD simulations. Both the MHD simulations and the particle results use measurements by spacecraft upstream of the magnetosphere. We focus on when and how particles achieve long lasting trapping in the inner magnetosphere.
