Energetic particle instrumentation initially on the Polar satellite and now on the four Cluster satellites has discovered that significant fluxes of energetic particles are continuously present in the region of the dayside magnetosphere where they cannot be stably trapped. This region is associated with either open magnetic field lines or a magnetic topology associated with pseudo-trapping. As the orbit planes of these satellites swept through the dayside magnetosphere in April and May of 2001 the Polar CAMMICE MICS sensor observed cusp like plasma [1-10 keV/e] for periods of time ranging up to six and eight hours on a given pass. Occasionally there were periods with much more energetic particle fluxes present. Simultaneous measurements by the Cluster RAPID experiment indicates that the geometry of the "cusp" is not the narrow funnel-shaped regions pictured but extended in both latitude and local time.
