O. Vasiberg, L. Avanov and G. Koinash High-latitude reconnection events observed at Interball-Tail give facilitate identification of transmitted ion velocity distributions due to high deHoffmann-Teller frame velocity. Within reconnected flux tube magnetosheath and magnetospheric transmitted ions acquire high velocity due to sling-shot effect, and are easily separated from original ions. Occasionally within reconnected events the ion velocity distribution of magnetosheath component is significantly wider. In this case magnetospheric ion component can be hardly separated within ion velocity distribution. We argue that within reconnected magnetic flux tubes or segments of them with easily separated ion components reconnection processes ceased, and they are convecting from upstream reconnection site. The flux tubes with wide ion velocity distribution are still active, and reconnection is still is in the progress.
