Scientific paper

The fluxes of energetic protons (energies between 0.5 and 0.9 MeV) discussed were observed in the earth's magnetotail by the Vela satellites at distances of roughly 18 earth radii. The proton bursts are found to share some of the characteristics reported by other investigators. However, three-dimensional measurements of the flux distributions, made possible by the Vela instruments, reveal important new features of the bursts. A detailed account of these observations is presented.
