Abstract
AGILE has the currently largest particle acceptance for 10–100 MeV electrons in the inner belt with L approximately less than 1.2 Measurement of the pitch angle distribution and particle flux which is unaffected by solar activity Detection of a stable "dumbbell" pitch angle distribution for high‐energy electrons and positrons in the inner magnetosphere AGILE has the currently largest particle acceptance for 10–100 MeV electrons in the inner belt with L approximately less than 1.2 Measurement of the pitch angle distribution and particle flux which is unaffected by solar activity Detection of a stable "dumbbell" pitch angle distribution for high‐energy electrons and positrons in the inner magnetosphere
