Scientific paper

The paper deals with some results of continuing analysis and interpretation of energetic particle observations made onboard Pioneer 11 during its August-September 1979 encounter with Saturn. Source strength estimates and the radial dependence of the phase space density of protons of energies above 80 MeV indicate with some confidence that the cosmic-ray neutron albedo from the planets atmosphere and rings is the source of these particles.
