Evolution of a Relativistic Electron Beam for Tracing Magnetospheric Field Lines

Evolution of a Relativistic Electron Beam for Tracing Magnetospheric Field Lines

Tracing magnetic field-lines of the Earth's magnetosphere using beams of relativistic electrons will open up new insights into space weather and magnetospheric physics. Analytic models and a single-particle-motion code were used to explore the dynamics of an electron beam emitted from an orbiti...
