The recirculation model for particle acceleration in the Jovian magnetosphere is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation. The recirculation model combines the conventional radial and pitch angle diffusion processes with the essentially energy-conserving latitudinal diffusion in low altitudes and the pitch angle scattering in the plasma disk. This process has been proposed to explain the pitch angle and spectral characteristics of MeV electrons observed by Pioneer spacecraft in the Jovian magnetosphere. The simulation confirms that the dumbbell type anisotropy and the high-energy tail of the energy cross-L diffusion is comparable to that of the conventional radial diffusion. The required low-altitude diffusion rate corresponds to roughly 10-2 times the Bohm diffusion rate for 1-MeV electrons, and it is suggested that the fluctuating electric field of the ULF turbulence confined to low altitudes is responsible for this high diffusion rate. The dumbbell type anisotropy observed also for MeV range electrons in the Earth's and Saturnian magnetospheres could also be the consequence of the recirculation process. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1990
