On One Possible Mechanism of the Trapping of Charged Particles in a Geomagnetic Field

Abstract

The mechanism of the trapping of charged particles by the Earth’s magnetic field is considered. This mechanism is connected with low radiation energy losses which take place at the appearance of the curvature in the particle’s trajectory due to the effect of the magnetic field. It is shown by the phase plane method that there are “critical” parameters of the particle’s motion at which arbitrarily small losses of the particle’s kinetic energy lead to the trapping of this particle.

Résumé

Sur le mécanisme de capture de particules chargées par le champ map,nétique de la Terre. On s’est occupé du mécanisme de capture de particules chargées par le champ magnétique de la Terre lié de petites pertes d’énergie d’émission des ondes électromagnétiques qui surviennent lorsque les trajectoires des particules sont courbées sous l’influence du champ magnétique. Par la méthode du plan de phase les auteurs démontrent l’existence de paramétres “critiques” du mouvement des particules tels qu’une perte d’énergie cinétique arbitrairement petite peut provoquer la capture.
