Abstract
This paper on particles in the trapped radiation belts might seem to be out of place at a conference on plasma space science. It does not deal at all directly with the structure of the solar wind or the boundary of the magnetosphere or with the aurora or the ionosphere. On the other hand, plasmas interact extremely broadly with particles and fields and there are important connections between the natural plasmas in space and the particles trapped within the magnetosphere. This paper will point to a few specific cases of this kind in which present understanding is extremely primitive if it exists at all. In addition this paper will deal with the consequences of the special plasmas created by nuclear explosions in space. These sources of new particles, controversial as they are in many respects, have provided some extremely interesting geophysical information on trapping in the radiation belts.
