Scientific paper

The reported results have been obtained with the aid of an electron-proton spectrometer on ATS 6. The instrument consists of two nearly identical detector assemblies. Each of these assemblies is a magnetic spectrometer having three solid state electron detectors and one solid state proton detector. The design of the instrument makes it possible to examine the flux of protons orbiting about gyrocenters displaced by up to 2 Larmor radii from one another and thus to compute the spatial flux gradient. Particle decreases and recoveries observed on ATS 6 are interpreted as boundary motion. The proton flux gradient observations indicate that the rapid flux increases are frequently associated with earthward motion, presumably of the plasma sheet.
