Radial diffusion modeling with empirical lifetimes: comparison with CRRES observations

A time dependent radial diffusion model is used to quantify the competing effects of inward radial diffusion and losses on the distribution of the outer zone relativistic electrons. The rate of radial diffusion is parameterized by <i>K<sub>p</sub></i> with the loss time as...
