Scientific paper

Data are examined concerning the determination of the lifetime of electrons with energies above 30 keV by direct comparison of the fluxes of captured and precipitating electrons, recorded onboard Molniia 1 and Cosmos 484. The lifetimes thus determined are shown to be substantially smaller than those obtained from data on the decrease in captured electron intensity along a line of force. The smaller electron lifetime in L greater than 4, and other observations, point to an acceleration of the particles during precipitation. The acceleration appears to occur during pitch angle diffusion.
