Proposal Summary:

Galileo EPD observations indicate the presence of field-aligned beams of energetic electrons that are thought to ogiginate from an acceleration process at low altitude in the Jovian upper atmosphere. Similar distributions which are peaked in the direction of the magnetic field are characteristically found in record mode data taken throughout the middle magnetosphere. These field-aligned distributions extend to energies of several hundred keV in the magnetospheric region that maps to the Jovian auroral zone (6
