From: L-shell and energy dependence of magnetic mirror point of charged particles trapped in Earth’s magnetosphere

Fig. 4

The magnetic mirror point latitude as a function of equatorial pitch angle of the particle with different energy. a, d, g, j are for oxygen ions, b, e, h, k are for protons, and c, f, i, l are for electrons. The dashed black line is drawn from the theoretical Eq. (6) and solid lines correspond to the simulation results of \(\lambda _\text{m}\) for fixed \(\psi = 90^{\circ }\), fixed energy and different L-shells (\(L = 3, 4, 5, 6\))
