Electron belt variations 3 phases: SEE injection, depletion, then new RB formation
31
SEP trapping
32
Ejection of SEP inside the RB really exists Solar energetic particles as a source of RB population 10 MeV protons There are some doubts that this source is important for the quiet-time structure of the RB
33
Solar energetic particles as a source of RB population One should expect the life-time of SEP particles to be very small because of their high rigidity (see Alfven criteria). Therefore, the probability of observing SEP particles inside the RB is small Criteria for stable trapping: L / M ~ L B /B= <<1 L - larmour radius, M –magnetic field line curvature, B - magnetic field magnitude
34

Intensity of radiation storm at LEO polar orbits on daily averaged time scale is mainly dependent on SEP penetration at low latitudes than on effects of RB’s particles redistribution or (and) acceleration at low latitudes

Conclusions 1.Solar extreme events (SEE) can really cause the drastic changes in the earth’s radiation environment, but their value depends on their geoefficiency
