Scientific paper

The angular distribution of anomalous oxygen particles of cosmic rays in the earth magnetosphere at heights of 250-400 km is examined. It is shown that the observed angular distribution corresponds to a flux of particles captured by the magnetic field and recorded at mirror points located at geomagnetic latitudes of 45-55 deg. The regions where anomalous oxygen particles are captured and the conditions allowing the capture and accumulation of ions are estimated. An estimate is also made of the expected intensity of the captured particle flux.
