The Latest Jovian-Trapped Proton and Heavy Ion Models

Jupiter possesses the harshest trapped radiation environment in the solar system. Models of the Jovian-trapped radiation environment are a prerequisite for planning missions to this extreme environment. The high energy (>0.1 MeV for electrons and >1 MeV/nuc for protons and heavier ions) particle environment drives the shielding and microelectronic parts design for a spacecraft. Recently, models ba...
