Modelling the heliospheric transport of Jovian electrons by stochastic processes

The global modulation and transport of Jovian electrons is studied using a stochastic modulation model. The model uses stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to solve the corresponding transport equation in 5 dimensions. Energy spectra and radial intensity profiles are calculated for Jovian electrons, with and without the inclusion of galactic electrons in the modulation model. We calculate the propagation time of Jovian electrons from their source to Earth and investigate the effect of including the relative motion of the Jovian magnetosphere into the modulation which is not possible with traditional finite difference modulation models.
