Experimental assays of the demagnetization of thermal electrons and ions at the bowshock and throughout the magnetosphere are demonstrated with a new single spacecraft technique that uses plasma, magnetic and electric field data. Routine demagnetization of the ions at the bowshock and Chapman-Ferraro layer are demonstrated while electrons remain magnetized for the strongest bowshocks of the Polar era. Electron signatures at the magnetopause occasionally hint at the presence of electron scale current channels and demagnetization, although strongly demagnetized thermal electrons are rare in a manner that we statistically quantify using a 3 year Polar data set. The demagnetized electron events are preferentially found in typical magnetopause locales and a restricted region of magnetic local time.
