Scientific paper

Pitch-angle diffusion of ring current protons is investigated, assuming that the scattering is caused by resonant interaction with electrostatic ion loss-cone waves. Bounce averaged diffusion coefficients are presented for different wave energy distributions. It is found that wave amplitudes about 1 mV/m are required to give strong diffusion of protons with average energy.
