Scientific paper

Pitch-angle data were obtained by the scanning magnetic electron spectrometer on OGO 5 during its traversals of the inner belt in 1968. Data from the five lowest-energy channels 79-822 keV, were analyzed in terms of j-perpendicular vs invariant latitude, time-decay rates, and spectral shapes at constant L. The inner-belt electron injection following two storm periods was observed; the first was the mild storm of June 11 and the second the more intense storms of October 31 and November 1. Comparisons with other data indicate that only a small Starfish residual (at more than 1 MeV) still remained in the heart of the inner belt; hence, the results are indicative of the normal inner belt. The data are discussed in terms of current ideas regarding the source and loss of particles in the inner belt.
