Scientific paper

The pitch angle distributions [PAD] of energetic particles are examined as the ISEE-1 satellite crosses the Earth's magnetopause near the subsolar point. The investigation focuses on the possible existence of a particular type of distribution that would be associated with a source of energetic particles in the high latitude magnetosphere. Ion PADs demonstrating persistent field aligned fluxes over a single hemisphere (upper/northern or lower/southern) were observed just sunward of the magnetopause current layer for extended periods of many minutes. These distributions are a direct prediction of a possible source of energetic particles located in the high altitude dayside cusp and we present five examples in detail of the three-dimensional particle distributions to demonstrate their existence. From these results other possible causes are examined.
