Empirically Estimated Electron Lifetimes in the Earth's Radiation Belts: Comparison With Theory

We compute quasilinear diffusion rates due to pitch angle scattering by various mechanisms in the Earth's electron radiation belts. The calculated theoretical lifetimes are compared with observed decay rates, and we find excellent qualitative agreement between the two. The overall structure of...
