Modeling the loss of inner belt protons by magnetic field line curvature scattering 

Tu, Weichao; Cowee, M. M.; Liu, Kaijun; 0000-0001-5882-1328 (2020-06-05)
The sudden loss of energetic protons in the inner radiation belt has been observed during geomagnetic storms. It is hypothesized that this sudden loss occurs because of changes in the geomagnetic field configuration which ...
