Scientific paper

Pitch-angle diffusion phenomenon caused by resonant interactions between parallel whistler waves and relativistic electrons is examined for the Van Allen radiation belts. Thus, the quasilinear pitch-angle diffusion equation for the relativistic case is derived. From this equation, in stationary conditions, one computes the wave spectrum, the distribution function, the particle lifetime, and the trapped electron flux between the magnetic mirrors. The present results may explain phenomena occurring in Earth's magnetosphere.
