Inner zone and slot electron radial diffusion revisited

Inner zone and slot electron radial diffusion revisited

Abstract Using recent data from NASA's Van Allen Probes, we estimate the quiet time radial diffusion coefficients for electrons in the inner radiation belt (L < 3) with energies from ~50 to 750 keV. The observations are consistent with dynamics dominated by pitch angle scattering and radial...
