Results are reported of simultaneous monitoring by IMP-7 and IMP-8 spacecraft of energetic ions and electrons in the vicinity of the neutral sheet and the high latitude plasma sheet, as well as inside the plasma sheet and across the magnetopause in the magnetosheath. Particular emphasis is given to the comparison of the energy spectra and the corresponding intensities of particle bursts at the two spacecraft, in order to examine the changes introduced into the energetic particle population during propagation from the source to different locations in the plasma sheet and magnetosheath. The results indicate that the energetic particle intensities are higher and the energy spectra is generally considerably softer inside the plasma sheet than the magnetosheath. A dawn-dusk asymmetry in the particle acceleration and escape processes is implied in the observations and is discussed in detail.
