Scientific paper

A simple model for precipitation of trapped particles from an asymmetric magnetic flux tube is formulated, and analytic solutions are found within the strong diffusion and weak diffusion limits. The primary objective is to determine how the ratio of the precipitation rates at the two feet of the flux tube depends on the other parameters of the model. It is assumed that the scattering occurs in a localized scattering region, that the escape of particles may be described by a loss term of simple form, and that the injection term also has a simple form. Applications to the solar corona, to Jupiter's radio emission, and to the terrestrial magnetosphere are briefly discussed.
