dynamics of magnetically trapped particles Juan G. Roederer Second Edition

dynamics of magnetically trapped particles

DESCRIPTION:

studies of all physical processes involved.

This book represents a thorough revision, expansion and update of Juan

G. Roederer’s 1970 “classic” Dynamics of Geomagnetically Trapped Radiation [5]

(Russian translation: Dinamika Radiatsiy, Zakhvatchennoi Geomagnitnim Polyem,

Publishing House Mir 1971, Moscow). It is complemented and amplified with

material from more recent lecture notes from both authors and their research

experience in the study of terrestrial and Jovian magnetospheres.

Like its old predecessor, this is not a cookbook with recipes that can be followed

blindly to obtain some concrete results. Emphasis is not on the “what” but on

the “why” of things out there in near-earth space. Our goal is not to tell but to

explain, leading the student and beginning scientist on a path of understanding the

underlying physics—rather than just offering a collection of laws and rules and their

mathematical expressions. Our hope is to provide the reader with the mental tools

to find out, not only what physical variables are related to each other, but why they

are related at all, and to seek new causal relationships as new experimental results

become available.
