Scientific paper

The formalism of pressure balance is reexamined without the assumption of specular reflection. In a realistic (non-uniform) magnetic field topology a significant fraction of particles incident on the magnetopause gain access to the magnetosphere. This is especially true on the flanks of the tail. Entering particles must make a significant contribution to the plasma sheet. Particle energization in the inner magnetosphere caused by the daily wobble of the geomagnetic dipole and the magnetospheric response was also quantitatively examined. Particles with initial energies near 10 keV can gain up to 6 keV energy over a period of a few days.
