Relativistic electrons (10-50 MeV) play an important role to account for the observed synchrotron decimetric radiation in Jupiter's inner radiation belt (L < 4). A detailed knowledge of these electron distributions is required to understand the synchrotron emission observations and the associated on-going physical processes. In this paper, instead of assuming electrons drift along constant L-shell at the magnetic equator as many earlier studies adopted, we calculate the size of the theoretical drift-loss cone for relativistic electrons using both the O6 and VIP4 magnetic field models. Model maps of the synchrotron emission for specific electron distributions are shown for comparison.
