Note(s) : This book is a new edition of Roederer's classic Dynamics of Geomagnetically Trapped
Radiation, updated and considerably expanded. The main objective is to describe the
dynamic properties of magnetically trapped particles in planetary radiation belts
and plasmas and explain the physical processes involved from the theoretical point
of view. The approach is to examine in detail the orbital and adiabatic motion of
individual particles in typical configurations of magnetic and electric fields in
the magnetosphere and, from there, derive basic features of the particles' collective
"macroscopic" behavior in general planetary environments. Emphasis is not on the "what"
but on the "why" of particle phenomena in near-earth space, providing a solid and
clear understanding of the principal basic physical mechanisms and dynamic processes
involved. The book will also serve as an introduction to general space plasma physics,
with abundant basic examples to illustrate and explain the physical origin of different
types of plasma current systems and their self-organizing character via the magnetic
field. The ultimate aim is to help both graduate students and interested scientists
to successfully face the theoretical and experimental challenges lying ahead in space
physics in view of recent and upcoming satellite missions and an expected wealth of
data on radiation belts and plasmas
