Physics

Earth Magnetosphere: Cosmic Rays

Scientific paper

The authors consider the angular distribution of particles of anomalous oxygen from cosmic rays at altitudes of 250 - 400 km in the Earth's magnetosphere. They show that it corresponds to the flux of particles trapped by the magnetic field and detected at mirror points lying at geomagnetic latitudes 45 - 55°. They estimate the region in which anomalous oxygen particles are captured and the conditions under which ions can be captured by the Earth's magnetic field and accumulate. They estimate the expected intensity of the flux of trapped particles. On the basis of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the observed fluxes, the authors conclude that anomalous oxygen particles are trapped by the Earth's magnetic field and create a belt with a flux intensity hundreds of times higher than that outside the magnetosphere.
