Description:
Data from the MIT X-ray experiment on the OSO-7 satellite were used to delineate the regions in B-L and geographic spaces where trapped radiation was encountered. The results pertain specifically to electrons with energies in a range of 10 keV centered on 55 keV which were encountered in an orbit between altitudes of 330 and 570 km and latitudes of 33.3 degrees. A typical pitch angle distribution is fitted by a Gaussian with a FWHM of 28 degrees.
