Randomized trial examines the effects of charged particles on magnetosphere dynamics during storms, suggesting significant impacts.

This research investigates the effects of a magnetic storm on the inner magnetosphere and its dynamics.
Analyzed data collected by Explorer 26 during the magnetic storm on April 17, 1965
Monitored the inner magnetosphere at L = 2 to L = 6
Assessed changes during the main and recovery phases of the storm.
During the storm's main phase, a rapid growth of charged particles was observed, primarily in the evening and late afternoon quadrants.
The recovery phase was characterized by a more symmetrical inflation of the magnetosphere caused by a belt of charged particles at L = 3.5.
The decay time constant of the charged particle belt was approximately 4 days.

L. J. Cahill (1966) studied this question.
