Chapter 1Background and Motivation

Su, Zhenpeng

Pages: 1 –11

[The radiation belt discovered in 1958 has received increasing attention in the space physics community. Radiation belt models are required to understand the physical mechanisms for its sources and sinks, and predict its variability.]
LitStream

Chapter 2Local Diffusion

Su, Zhenpeng

Pages: 13 –40

[Radiation belt electrons can cyclotron resonate with some magnetospheric plasma waves, and then experience the significant acceleration or loss process.]
LitStream

Chapter 3Radial Diffusion

Su, Zhenpeng

Pages: 41 –61

[The ultra low-frequency waves can drift-resonate with the energetic electrons, violate the third adiabatic invariant, and then drive the so-called radial diffusion process.]
LitStream

Chapter 4Adiabatic Transport

Su, Zhenpeng

Pages: 63 –85

[In response to the large-scale variation in geomagnetic field, the trapped electrons experience the adiabatic transport process (conserving the three adiabatic invariants but changing the pitch-angle, energy, and drift-shell L\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath}...

Chapter 5Magnetospheric Convection

Su, Zhenpeng

Pages: 87 –99

[Magnetospheric convection corresponds to the magnetic and electric drifts of radiation belt electrons.]
LitStream

Chapter 6Summary

Su, Zhenpeng

Pages: 101 –106

[We summarize the developments of STEERB model and give the comparison of several radiation belt kinetic models of different research groups.]
