The inner radiation belt, discovered by Van Allen, consists of very energetic protons, a by-product of collisions of cosmic ray ions with atoms in the atmosphere. This site provides information on the behavior and relative energies of the particles in the belts. Historic information about the discoveries made in 1958 by a University of Iowa team, headed by James Van Allen, is cited as well.
