Low-density plasma as a key catalyst for electron acceleration in the Van Allen radiation belts
Abstract The near-Earth space environment is populated by the most energetic electrons with velocities very close to the speed of light, reaching ultra-relativistic energies. These electrons present a serious hazard to the Earth-orbiting spacecraft and are referred to as the Van Allen radiation belt...
