Summary The possibility of the existence of a natural positron belt in the Earth's magnetosphere is considered. It is suggested that the positrons can be produced in the nuclear reactions of trapped relativistic protons of the inner zone with the residual atmosphere. The positron spectrum in the range of 10–100 MeV at the top ofL=1.2 is calculated and compared with the experimental results. |
