Scientific paper

An analysis is made of radial profiles of the distribution functions of particles with fixed values of the first and second adiabatic invariants in the radiation belts of the earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. It is shown that, for some values of mu (magnetic moment) and for given values of J (the longitudinal effect), the radial dependences of the distribution functions can be approximated (in a sufficiently wide range of L values) by a formula following from the exponential distribution according to Phi (magnetic flux) in the dipole field. It is concluded that the processes forming the radial particles profiles in the radiation belts of the three planets are similar.
