Scientific paper

Radiation belt electrons undergo strong energization during the recovery phase of magnetic storms. Both data analyses and theoretical studies have suggested that the energization is primarily caused by internal processes in the region around L~4-5 and can be generally classified into two types: non-adiabatic and adiabatic acceleration. It has been shown that these two types of mechanism can interplay with each other and they both contribute to the enhancement of relativistic electron fluxes. An important task is to reveal the relative importance of the adiabatic and non-adiabatic processes and to further differentiate the role that each competing mechanism plays. This paper devotes to study the physics of adiabatic acceleration and its importance and limitation during the energization course in the storm recovery phase.
