Scientific paper
Recent research on energetic (in excess of about 45 keV) particles in the magnetosphere is reviewed with emphasis on the relationships between various aspects of the particles and magnetospheric processes. An account is given of the discovery of the Crand source for the high-energy component of the trapped proton flux in the inner belt. Various analyses are summarized for pitch-angle and radial diffusion of electrons in the outer-belt regions, the effects of azimuthal drift motions of energetic protons and electrons, ring-current proton injection, and wave-particle interactions. Observations of trapped heavy ions in the magnetosphere are discussed together with observations of energetic particles in the plasma sheet and magnetotail. Papers are cited which deal with auroral phenomena and solar particles in the magnetosphere. Ideas for some possible active experiments are noted.
