The phenomenon of quasi-stable trapping of charged particles in the keV to MeV energy range within the polar cusp region of the Earth’s magnetosphere is explored. The remote equatorial magnetic field lines on the dayside magnetosphere are compressed by the solar wind and exhibit two local minima in the geomagnetic field strength along the field line in high latitudes. These minima, on both sides of...
The possible existence of a positron radiation belt in the inner magnetosphere of the Earth, its space location, flux, energy distribution and the ratio of e+/e− fluxes is considered. The source of the positrons/electrons is assumed to be the decay of charged pions (π - μ - e decay chain) produced, in the nuclear interactions between protons and the neutral constituents of the atmosphere. The production...
