Scientific paper

Relativistic electron precipitation spikes were observed in the quasi-trapped population at midlatitudes by an array of electron detectors aboard the low-altitude polar-orbiting satellite 1972-076B. The fluxes of electrons of energies not less than 4 MeV may undergo pronounced enhancements, while the intensities of electrons in the few hundred keV range may not be significantly affected. Energy spectra and pitch angle distributions were measured over the energy range 160 keV to 2.4 MeV with a combination of three spectrometers. Fluxes of energetic electrons (greater than 4 MeV) were measured with high sensitivity in each of two large plastic scintillator anticoincidence counters surrounding a germanium spectrometer.
