Аннотация:A new method of numerical simulation of the proton pitch angle distribution (PAD) based on Liouville's theorem is presented. It yields good results for that region of the Earth's magnetosphere where the transport rate far exceeds the loss processes (charge exchange and Coulomb collisions) rate. Obtained numerical models of the proton PAD are in good agreement with the experimental data and explain all features of the PAD of proton fluxes with energy E > 50 keV experimentally measured in the Earth's magnetosphere at 3 < R/R(E) < 7.5 (R(E) is Earth's radius) and different MLT (magnetic local time) during geomagnetically quiet periods.
