Discovered in 1958 the famous Van Allen Radiation belts were among the first scientific discoveries of the Space Age. Throughout the following decades the belts have been under intensive investigation motivated by the risks of radiation hazards they expose to electronics and humans on spacecraft in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere. This textbook teaches the field from basic theory of particles and plasmas to observations which culminated in the highly successful Van Allen Probes Mission of NASA in 2012-2019. Using numerous data examples the authors explain the relevant concepts and theoretical background of the extremely complex radiation belt region, with the emphasis on giving a comprehensive and coherent understanding of physical processes affecting the dynamics of the belts. The target audience are doctoral students and young researchers who wish to learn about the physical processes underlying the acceleration, transport and loss of the radiation belt particles in the perspective of the state-of-the-art observations.Astronomy and Astrophysics LibraryPhysics of Earth’s Radiation Belts Physics of Earth's Radiation BeltsGeophysicsbicsscPlasma physicsbicsscAstronomy, space & timebicsscAerospace & aviation technologybicsscEarth sciencesbicsscEarth's radiation beltsVan Allen beltscharged particle motion in Earth’s magnetospheresources and losses of radiation belt particleswhistler mode chorusplasmaspheric hisselectromagnetic ion cyclotron waveswave-particle interactionsPc5 wavesopen accessGeophysicsPlasma physicsAstronomy, space & timeAerospace & aviation technologyEarth sciencesKoskinen Hannu E.
