Fig. 9From: L-shell and energy dependence of magnetic mirror point of charged particles trapped in Earth’s magnetosphereThe minimum vertical height of a protons and b electrons above the surface of the Earth as a function of the energy at \(L = 3\) with the equatorial pitch angle of \(10^{\circ }\) and \(15^{\circ }\). The horizontal dashed lines correspond to the ionospheric boundaries at 1000 km and 100 km, respectively, above the surface of the EarthBack to article page
