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

Fig. 6

The magnetic mirror point latitude as a function of the equatorial pitch angle of the particle at different L-shells. 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 obtained from the theoretical Eq. (6) and the solid lines correspond to the simulation results of \(\lambda _\text{m}\) for fixed \(\psi = 90^{\circ }\), fixed L-shell and different energy (\(E_\text{k} = 5\,\text {MeV}\), 500 keV, 50 keV, 5keV)
