Description
We present a new measurement of the high energy (> 70 MeV) geomagnetically trapped and albedo proton fluxes, performed by the PAMELA satellite experiment at low Earth orbits. Trajectories of all selected particles were reconstructed in the geomagnetic field with back-tracing techniques based on a realistic description of the magnetosphere, and analyzed in the framework of the adiabatic theory. Results include detailed information about energy spectra, spatial and angular distributions, and they were provided by using several coordinate systems. PAMELA data were compared with other spacecraft measurements and with predictions of recent theoretical models.
