Scientific paper

Energetic proton bursts were observed simultaneously on Imp 6, 7, and 8 both inside and outside the earth's magnetosphere during the period October 1972 through August 1974. It is found that proton bursts are present nearly simultaneously in the vicinity of the outer belt trapping boundary, in the low-latitude magnetotail, in the magnetosheath, and upstream from the bow shock. Large intensity differences, time delays, and differences in energy spectra recorded by the three spacecraft are described. It is suggested that energetic protons and electrons are probably accelerated inside the plasma sheet and propagate to various regions both inside and outside the magnetosphere.
