摘要

H-ion (~45 keV to ~600 keV), He-ion (~65 keV to ~520 keV), and O-ion (~140 keV to ~1130 keV) integral flux measurements, from the Radiation Belt Storm Probe Ion Composition Experiment(RBSPICE) instrument aboard the Van Allan Probes spacecraft B, are reported. These abundance data form a cohesive picture of ring current ions during the first 9 months of measurements. Furthermore, the data presented herein are used to show injection characteristics via the He-ion/H-ion abundance ratio and the O-ion/H-ion abundance ratio. Of unique interest to ring current dynamics are the spatial-temporal decay characteristics of the two injected populations. We observe that He-ions decay more quickly at lower L shells, on the order of ~0.8 day at L shells of 3–4, and decay more slowly with higher L shell, on the order of ~1.7 days at L shells of 5–6. Conversely, O-ions decay very rapidly (~1.5 h) across all L shells. The He-ion decay time are consistent with previously measured and calculated lifetimes associated with charge exchange. The O-ion decay time is much faster than predicted and is attributed to the inclusion of higher-energy (> 500 keV) O-ions in our decay rate estimation. We note that these measurements demonstrate a compelling need for calculation of high-energy O-ion loss rates, which have not been adequately studied in the literature to date.
