THE LATITUDE AND ALTITUDE DISTRIBUTION OF GEOMAGNETICALLY TRAPPED PROTONS.

Abstract

A theory is derived for the proton injection coefficient and is use to calculate the latitude and altitude dependence. This theory is based purely on geometry and involves only the the fact that in the decay of the fast neutron the resulting proton preserves its direction.
