The ring current during a geomagnetic storm on May 2, 1986 has been modeled using a bounce averaged kinetic equations for the phase space density of hydrogen ions, considering charge exchange and Coulomb losses along the drift path. The resulting equatorial pitch angle distribution is used to genera
