This paper tests the conclusions of magnetic and electric diffusion theories by comparing theory and experiment for the position of the maxima of the radial profiles of the intensities of L sub jm protons and heavy ions close to the geomagnetic equator. The analysis of the spatial distribution of these intensity maxima is based on H, He, C and O ions in an energy range of from 100 keV to about 70 MeV. Calculations of these maxima for the energetic ionic component of the belts assuming magnetic or electric diffusion show that the spectra of the magnetic and electric field fluctuations in the center of the belt must differ substantially. The calculations are in good agreement with experimental data if the geomagnetic fluctuation spectrum is an f(-2) function of frequency, while the electric field spectrum is flat. The measured spectra of the electric fields in this range of drift frequencies take the form of a monotonically declining function. The primary mechanism for the formation of ion radiation belts at energies above a few hundred keV at shell levels L = 2 to 3.5 is the transport occurring with fluctuations in the geomagnetic field.
