Description

Discussion of theories on particle motion in electric and magnetic fields precedes examination of theories on the source of the inner and outer Van Allen belts. Theories for the inner belt propose solar cosmic ray injection and galactic cosmic ray injection as the source of the protons. Neutron albedo is particularly examined but seems to be unaccountable for the proton belt. Neutron albedo and injection from the sun are also considered as possible sources of the electrons in the outer belt. Fluctuations, intensities, and distributions of the belts are also discussed, and the connection between the belts and aurora displays … continued below

Neutron albedo and injection from the sun are also considered as possible sources of the electrons in the outer belt. Fluctuations, intensities, and distributions of the belts are also discussed, and the connection between the belts and aurora displays is examined. Fluxes, spectra, and particle intensities are displayed, and the effects of magnetic storms on the belts are analyzed. 150 references. (D.C.W.)
