Scientific paper

Observations of pulses of H, He, and heavy ions of energies greater than 0.12 MeV per charge in the magnetotail and in the magnetosheath are reported. It was found that the relative ion abundances were about 9:1:0.04, their differential energy spectra were about 1 divided by the fourth power of E, and their atomic electrons were almost completely stripped. These results suggest that they were low-energy 'quiet-time' cosmic rays accelerated within the magnetotail and the magnetosheath to the observed energies.
