Earth Radiation Belts, Jupiter: Radiation Belts, Saturn: Radiation Belts
Scientific paper
The authors have studied the radial profiles of the particle distribution functions for specific values of the first and second adiabatic invariants in the radiation belts of the Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. The authors considered electrons and protons in the inner and outer radiation belts of the Earth, respectively, and protons and oxygen ions in the radiation belts around Jupiter and Saturn. They find that for certain μ and specific values of J the radial dependence of the distribution function can be approximated by an expression derived from an exponential distribution in Φ in a dipole magnetic field when the range of L is sufficiently wide. When taken with earlier results concerning the Earth's radiation belts, these results point to a similarity in the processes that form the radial profiles of the different radiation belts.
