During that time it passed through the Van Allen belt and gave RadPC the chance to earn its name. Radiation and computers don’t mix because a single high-energy particle can, according to NASA ...
Electrons in a Van Allen radiation belt (blue) encounter whistler waves (purple) and are sent raining toward the north pole (red). THEMIS satellites are seen near the radiation belt, while UCLA ...
It also created two new bands of radiation around the planet, researchers report in the February JGR Space Physics. Earth is encircled by two donut-shaped bands of particles called the Van Allen ...
Figure 1: Electron acceleration in the outer Van Allen radiation belt. Although the present results may provide a resolution to the debate over which mechanism is the dominant cause of ...
In particular, recent work has focused on wave-particle interactions, solar wind-magnetosphere interactions, and energetic particle dynamics in Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts through analysis of ...
