This book is an introductory textbook on the physical processes
occurring in the Earth's radiation belts. The presentation is at
the advanced undergraduate or first year graduate level, and it is
appropriate for students who intend to work in some aspect of
magnetospheric physics. The treatment is quantitative and provides
the mathematical basis for original work in this subject. The
equations describing the motion of energetic ions and electrons in
the geomagnetic field are derived from basic principles, and
concepts such as magnetic field representations, guiding centre
motion, adiabatic invariance, and particle distribution functions
are presented in a detailed and accessible manner. Relevant
experimental techniques are reviewed and a summary is given of the
intensity and energy spectra of the particle populations in the
Earth's radiation belts. Problem sets are included as well as
appendices of tables, graphs and frequently used formulas.
