An important region of the Earth's magnetosphere is the nightside magnetotail, which is
believed to play a significant role in energy storage and release associated with substorms …

Thin current sheets having kinetic scales are an important plasma structure, where the
magnetic energy dissipation and charged particle acceleration are the most effective. It is …

The bulk flows and magnetic-field fluctuations of the plasma sheet are investigated using
single-point measurements from the ISEE-2 Fast Plasma Experiment and fluxgate …

This paper discusses kinetic modeling of the properties of magnetotail formation from a
plasma mantle source and develops a unified view of the structure of the central part of the …

We investigate particle acceleration and the flux increases associated with substorm particle
injections using geosynchronous observations and test proton orbits in the dynamic fields of …

Previous studies of forced current sheet equilibria, that is, x‐independent current sheets with
a constant Bz= Bn and a constant, uniform electric field Ey (Eastwood, 1972, 1974; Hill …

The trajectories of a large ensemble of particles are calculated in a modified Tsyganenko
magnetic field model with a uniform cross‐tail electric field. The model magnetotail can be …

Charged-particle motion in the spacetime of a weakly magnetized static nonrotating black
hole is investigated. We study the conditions under which a charged particle originally …

In many space plasma systems, especially when the magnetic field is weak, characteristic
scales of the magnetic field inhomogeneity are much smaller than the Larmor radius of the …

Electron and ion velocity space distributions in the plasma sheet boundary layer have
distinct features and exhibit a characteristic evolution with depth in the boundary layer. Near …
