Scientific paper

The distribution of protons with energies of 200 to 700 MeV in the inner radiation belt is analyzed on the basis of laboratory model experiments which showed that nonadiabatic effects in constant and time-variable magnetic fields play an important part in the dynamics of high-energy protons in the radiation belts. The analysis indicates that the observed decrease in intensity of 400 MeV protons with increasing distance from the earth may be quantitatively explained in terms of nonadiabaticity of motion. The combined effect of radial transport and the nonadiabatic loss mechanism is examined.
