Description
The existence of high energy (E>1MeV) electrons in the inner zone is always a debate issue. We tried with several clues to solve the problem they arise. First, using NOAA measurements and in particular a proton channel contaminated by E>1.2MeV electrons, the slot filling was studied over solar cycles. Then the found profiles were compared to the CRRES and SAMPEX measurements. Finally, using a simplistic physical model derived from Salammbô, the variations were estimated to understand the long term behavior of the electrons in the inner belt.
