Scientific paper

Energetic electron fluxes (28 keV-10 MeV) observed by the MIMI/LEMMS instrument on the Cassini mission during 2004 to 2008 are analyzed. We consider 40 events where an event comprises a selected portion of a Cassini orbit that lies within 0.5 Rs of the magnetic equatorial plane, where Rs is Saturn's radius. We determine the electron energy spectrum and integral flux at specified L-shells in the range 3.25 < L < 15. In addition, comparisons are made between the observed fluxes and the corresponding self-limiting values derived from Kennel-Petschek theory.
