Physics of Earth's radiation beltstheory and observations /[electronic resource] :by Hannu E. J. Koskinen, Emilia K. J. Kilpua. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2022. - xx, 272 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Astronomy and astrophysics library,2196-9698. - Astronomy and astrophysics library..

Preface -- Environment of radiation -- Charged particles in near-Earth -- From particles to plasma physics -- Plasma waves in the inner magnetosphere -- Drivers and properties of waves in the inner magnetosphere -- Particle sources and losses -- Dynamics of the electron belts -- Radiation environment of other planets and their radiation effects on spacecraft -- Appendices (important satellites and their instrumentation, magnetic field models) -- List of references -- Index.

Open access.

This open access book serves as textbook on the physics of the radiation belts surrounding the Earth. Discovered in 1958 the famous Van Allen Radiation belts were among the first scientific discoveries of the Space Age. Throughout the following decades the belts have been under intensive investigation motivated by the risks of radiation hazards they expose to electronics and humans on spacecraft in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. This textbook teaches the field from basic theory of particles and plasmas to observations which culminated in the highly successful Van Allen Probes Mission of NASA in 2012-2019. Using numerous data examples the authors explain the relevant concepts and theoretical background of the extremely complex radiation belt region, with the emphasis on giving a comprehensive and coherent understanding of physical processes affecting the dynamics of the belts. The target audience are doctoral students and young researchers who wish to learn about the physical processes underlying the acceleration, transport and loss of the radiation belt particles in the perspective of the state-of-the-art observations.
