Abstract

Local Acceleration How the electrons trapped in Earth-encircling Van Allen radiation belts get accelerated has been debated since their discovery in 1958. Reeves et al. (p. 991 , published online 25 July) used data from the Van Allen Radiation Belt Storm Probes, launched by NASA on 30 August 2012, to discover that radiation belt electrons are accelerated locally by wave-particle interactions, rather than by radial transport from regions of weaker to stronger magnetic fields.
