Geosynchronous energetic electrons are highly varying due to many overlapping influences. The observed change in particle flux includes an adiabatic response to changes in field geometry. By scaling measured flux to phase space density at a constant value of the first adiabatic invariant, mu, we remove much of this response. This will allow a clearer analysis of the other influences on the particle populations themselves, such as wave-particle interactions and radial diffusion. From a dataset of nearly a solar cycle of GOES data scaled to a constant mu of 1000 MeV/G and 5000 MeV/G, we highlight several examples when the flux time- series scaled to a constant mu differs from the constant energy time-series, as directly measured by the detector. We also present an analysis of the effectiveness of a technique for specification of geosynchronous electrons using this constant mu approach and evaluate the additional contributions of the adiabatic invariants L* and K to flux variability.
