    Evolution and Energization of Energetic Electrons in the Inner Magnetosphere

    In this paper we present a review of what we know about the evolution and energization of energetic electrons in the inner magnetosphere. We emphasize what we have learned since the review by Friedel et al. [17] ...

    Geomagnetically Trapped Alpha Particles

    Prior to 1970, the existing experimental data on a-particles were limited (Krimigis, 1970; Blake and Paulikas, 1970) and new data were just becoming available. The early measurements dealt almost exclusively w...
