Radial diffusion of ionized helium and protons: A probe for magnetospheric dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the radial profiles of ionized helium flux and protons are calculated, and certain physical effects ignored in previous treatments are taken into account, such as charge exchange processes, which provide a loss mechanism as well as a way of converting solar-wind alpha particles to He+, and contribution of fluctuating electrostatic fields to the radial-diffusion coefficient.

The protons and electrons trapped in the Jovian dipole magnetic field region and their interaction with Io
J. A. Simpson,D. C. Hamilton,R. B. McKibben,A. Mogro-Campero,K. R. Pyle,Anthony J. Tuzzolino +5 more
TL;DR: Theoretical studies of the capture of trapped electrons and protons by Io have been carried out, and it is found that the probability of capture by Io depends strongly upon the particle species and kinetic energy.

LEICA: a low energy ion composition analyzer for the study of solar and magnetospheric heavy ions
TL;DR: The SAMPEX (Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer) LEICA instrument is designed to measure approximately 0.5-5-MeV/nucleon solar and magnetospheric ions over the range from He-Ni.

Solar particle tracks in glass from the surveyor 3 spacecraft.
G. Crozaz,Robert M. Walker +1 more
TL;DR: The Surveyor data are compatible with track results in lunar rocks, provided an erosion rate of ∼10-7 centimeter per year is assumed for the latter, and the results suggest a small-scale erosion process in Lunar rocks.
