Radial transport theory for inner radiation
zone MeV ions has been extended by combining radial diffusive transport and
losses due to Coulomb friction with local generation of D, T and 3He
ions from nuclear reactions taking place on the inner edge of the inner
radiation zone. Based on interactions between high energy trapped protons and
upper atmospheric constituents we have included a nuclear reaction yield D, T
and 3He flux source that was numerically derived from a nuclear
reaction model code originally developed at the Institute of Nuclear Researches
in Moscow, Russia. Magnetospheric transport computations have been made covering
the L-shell range L=1.0–1.6. The resulting MeV energy D, T and 3He
ion flux distributions show a strong influence of the local nuclear source
mechanism on the inner zone energetic D, T and 3He ion content.
