Scientific paper

It is suggested that the periodic modulation of MeV electron fluxes observed by Pioneer 10 in its outbound orbit was due to crossing of the magnetically neutral sheet in the Jovian outer magnetosphere. It is pointed out that these electrons are continually generated in this sheet, which is formed in the outer magnetosphere beyond about 20 Jupiter radii from the planet.
