| Zusammenfassung |
| A qualitative study is performed on plasma transport modelling in the inner
magnetosphere, revealing the significance of a model use choice and its
parameterization. First, we examine particle transport using comparative
analysis of both magnetic and electric field models. This work reveals that
the electric field plays an important role in understanding particle
dynamics and the models lead to various results in terms of plasma source, energy
and particle trajectory. We then concentrate particularly on proton loss
assessment considering the charge exchange phenomenon. For that, models are
needed to provide a neutral hydrogen density estimation. So, exospheric
models were tested in light of the Dynamics Explorer 1 measurements analysed
by Rairden. |
