| 内容記述 | The development of upper and lower limits for the rate of radial diffusion of energetic ions in Saturn's inner magnetosphere is discussed. Improved calculations of the satellite-sweeping rate and phase space density profiles for a wide range of ion invariants are utilized to determine the limits. The lower limit for the radial diffusion coefficient is established by requiring the rate of inward diffusion to be large enough to balance satellite sweeping losses; the upper limit is obtained by requiring the rate of inward diffusion to be less than the observable ultraviolet aurora on plasma torus L shell. It is concluded that the radial diffusion coefficient for ions in Saturn's inner magnetosphere is calculated to about two orders of magnitude. |
