Table 1 Across Spatial locations, distinct mechanisms govern electron acceleration or loss at varying energies and pitch angles.

Pitch angle	Flux	300 keV		1 MeV		3 MeV
Pitch angle	Flux	L < L_PP	L > L_PP	L < L_PP	L > L_PP	L < L_PP	L > L_PP
High pitch angle (60^°–90^°)	Acceleration	D_LL	D_LL	D_LL	Chorus (D_pp) + D_LL	D_LL	D_LL
High pitch angle (60^°–90^°)	Loss	---	---	---	---	---	---
Medium pitch angle (30^°–60^°)	Acceleration	D_LL	D_LL	D_LL	Chorus (D_pp)	D_LL	D_LL
Medium pitch angle (30^°–60^°)	Loss	---	---	---	---	---	---
Low pitch angle (15^°–30^°)	Acceleration	D_LL	---	D_LL	---	D_LL	Chorus (D_pp) + D_LL
Low pitch angle (15^°–30^°)	Loss	---	Chorus (D_αα)	---	Chorus (D_αα)	---	---
