Scientific paper

It is well known that the magnetic field strength along field lines near the dayside magnetopause becomes W- shaped, due to compression of the magnetic field by the solar wind pressure. It is also known that energetic particles drifting across this region may experience chaotic violation of the second adiabatic invariant. Here, we explore an additional mechanism for violation of the invariant due to the east-west asymmetry in the magnetic field caused by non-zero values of the IMF By component. Using several empirical magnetospheric magnetic fields, we present initial results that quantify this previously un-explored effect.
