Bounce-averaged Fokker-Planck diffusion equation in non-dipolar magnetic fields with applications to the Dungey magnetosphere
We perform a detailed derivation of the bounce-averaged relativistic Fokker-Planck diffusion equation applicable to arbitrary magnetic field at a constant Roederer <I>L</I>. The form of the bounce-averaged diffusion equation is found regardless of details of the mirror geometry, sugge...
