Abstract

To study radiation effects caused Ly geormagnetically trapped high energy protons, one must produce a proton source with the expected spectra.; characteristics.A method for generating such spectra using a spinning wheel of varying thickness is described.Resulting wheel shapes for two typical proton spectra are shown.
