  3. History of the problem • Discovery of electron radiation belts onboard ELECTRON satellites in 60’s. • MAXIS (1996) experiment onboard balloons, Kiruna. High-energy electrons>500 keV dropouts: Registered at low altitudes flux -5 х 1025particles for eight days. Total number of trapped electrons – 2 х 1025.

  4. 9 7 5 3 L Probability of microburst 0 6 12 18 24 MLT The short bursts (~100 ms) of precipitated electrons usually observed at the night-side of trapping boundary. (SAMPEX results).

  5. Precipitation of ~100 keV electrons from radiation belts measured in SAMPEX experiment.

  6. Objective of the work • The investigation of relativistic electrons precipitation using data of near-polar satellites. • Modeling of acceleration processes and dropout of energetic electrons in process of radial diffusion and interaction with electromagnetic waves in configuration-dynamic magnetosphere.

  7. Tasks • Identification of RE events and database on these measurements creation using Coronas-I, Coronas-F, Universitetsky-Tatyana satellites, MIR station data and others. • Analysis and classification of RE using balloon experiments. • Investigation of space-time characteristics of RE events in the problems of magnetospheric activity and magnetosphere configuration.

  8. Project features • Joint investigations of RE onboard satellites and registration of gamma (X-rays) in atmosphere. • Registration of RE in wide energy range (up to 10 MeV and more). Time resolution is ~100 ms. Obtaining of spectral and pitch-angle distributions. • Registration of low fluxes of RE using large geometry factor detectors. • Simultaneous registration of RE, X-rays and UV rays from atmosphere.

  9. Electrons 0.2 – 10 MeV > 10 MeV > 0.3 MeV Protons 0.3 – 60 MeV > 50 MeV 3 – 150 MeV >150 MeV Gamma 0.05 – 1.0 MeV Neutron 0.1 – 30 MeV X-rays 10 – 100 keV UV 300-400 nm

  10. TOTAL RELEC characteristics Mass 27 kg. Power36 W. Data flow10-20 Mb/day.

  11. Other geophysical and space-physics problems can be solved using the same devices • Lithosphere-ionosphere connections (earthquakes) • Atmosphere-ionosphere connections (thunderstorms) Technical applications • Dosimetry and SEU (single event upsets) problem taking into account neutron component of radiation.

  12. Participants PI SINP MSU Co-PI Lebedev PhIAS Radiation measurement SINP MSU (Russia, Ukraine) Low-frequency waves IKI RAS (Russia, GB, France, Ukraine) High-frequency waves SRC PAS (Poland, Sweden) Dosimetry SINP MSU (Russia, Ukraine, Germany) Ground complex (Balloons) PhIAS (Russia, Germany)

  13. Possible ways of cooperation: • Participation in experiment • Coordinated measurements • Data analysis and interpretation
