Scientific paper

Imp-7 data were used to study the morphology and flow patterns of energetic proton and electron events in the magnetotail and magnetosheath at 35 earth radii. The patterns are deduced from the probability of occurrence and the spatial distribution of the events. The distribution of 50 to 200 keV proton and 30 to 90 keV electron fluxes shows that in the magnetotail (i.e., inside the magnetopause) the proton and electron events occur primarily in the plasma sheet region within plus or minus 10 earth radii of the neutral sheet; fluxes of 50- to 200-keV protons are also found in the magnetosheath, along with occasional fluxes of 30- to 90-keV electrons; the plasma sheet is well defined (at 35 earth radii) by both the proton and electron probabilities; the frequency of the electron events in the magnetotail shows a positive correlation with the geomagnetic Kp index in the dawn and dusk sectors.
