Scientific paper

An analysis of phase space density observations of 30-130 keV ring current protons made during a magnetopause crossing of ISEE 1 indicates that the phase space densities of 30-65 keV protons within the magnetosphere are higher for particles streaming parallel to the field than antiparallel to the field. In the magnetosheath, phase space densities parallel to the field are higher than the densities of both outward- and inward-flowing particles parallel to the field within the magnetosphere. The observations are discussed in the terms of reflected and transmitted ring current protons' acceleration in the magneteopause current layer.
