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. 410 0$aAstronomy and Astrophysics Library 517 $aPhysics of Earth’s Radiation Belts 517 $aPhysics of Earth's Radiation Belts 606 $aGeophysics$2bicssc 606 $aPlasma physics$2bicssc 606 $aAstronomy, space & time$2bicssc 606 $aAerospace & aviation technology$2bicssc 606 $aEarth sciences$2bicssc 610 $aEarth's radiation belts 610 $aVan Allen belts 610 $acharged particle motion in Earth?s magnetosphere 610 $asources and losses of radiation belt particles 610 $awhistler mode chorus 610 $aplasmaspheric hiss 610 $aelectromagnetic ion cyclotron waves 610 $awave-particle interactions 610 $aPc5 waves 610 $aopen access 615 7$aGeophysics 615 7$aPlasma physics 615 7$aAstronomy, space & time 615 7$aAerospace & aviation technology 615 7$aEarth sciences 700 $aKoskinen$b Hannu E.
