Radial diffusion in Jupiter's magnetosphere
Abstract
Radial phase-space density profiles for equatorially mirroring particles are computed from data obtained by Pioneer 10. The profiles are consistent only with radial diffusion subject to nonadiabatic losses. It is suggested that these losses are due to pitch-angle scattering by whistler turbulence.
