Lightning-induced neutrons as a possible source of charged particles in the Earth’s inner radiation belt

The Van Allen radiation belts are doughnut-shaped zones surrounding Earth, filled with highly energetic charged particles whose sources or loss mechanisms have been investigated for decades. As for the inner belt, cosmic ray albedo neutron decay (CRAND), radial diffusion, and local acceleration have...
