The effects of a By field on ions in unbounded transient orbits in the current sheet of the geomagnetic tail are studied. The trajectories and the energization of ions injected at the north edge of the current sheet (z=+L) are investigated varying the dawn to dusk magnetic field strength By. The current sheet with +By produces less energetic ions than that with -By. At By=0 the exit positions of ions after acceleration from the current sheet are scattered almost equally above and below the current sheet. Finite By introduces a helicity to the magnetic tail structure that breaks this symmetry. When the By field reaches 3 nT, almost all of the tailward streaming ions injected with initial velocities (0
