A Van Allen radiation belt is Radiation belts book zone of energetic charged particles, most of which originate from the solar wind, that are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field. Earth has two such belts and sometimes others may be temporarily created.
The discovery of the belts is credited to James Van Allen, and as a result, Earth's belts are known as the Van Allen belts. Electron loss to the atmosphere plays a critical role in driving the dynamics of the Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts and slot region.
This chapter is a review of atmospheric loss of radiation belt electrons caused by plasma wave scattering via Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance. Dynamics of the Earth's Radiation Belts and Inner Magnetosphere (Geophysical Monograph Series Book ) - Kindle edition by Summers, Danny, Mann, I.

But, the book goes MUCH further and is more broad-minded. Someday, this profound book will be sought after by millions and millions around our world/5(52).
Inobservations from the Van Allen Probes showed that a third belt can sometimes appear. The Earth actually has two radiation belts of different origins. The inner belt, the one discovered by Van Allen's Geiger counter, occupies a compact region above the equator (see drawing, which also includes the trajectories of two space probes) and is a by-product of cosmic radiation.
It is populated by protons of energies in the Mev. The radiation belts were eventually named after him. Van Allen's experiment on Explorer 1, which launched Jan.

To outline different ways to achieve this task and to identify the less well known aspects of physical and empirical models of the radiation belts were the objectives of a workshop held in Brussels, October, entitled "Radiation Belts.
