Scientific paper

The trejectories of mirroring protons and electrons are obtained by tracing in a relistic model of the magnetosphere. Day-night asymmetry is found in the particle trajectories, which is caused by the asymmetry in gradient and curvature drifts. It is also found that the high-energy protons injected from the nightside escape from the duskside magnetopause. This may be important for the explanation of partial ring-current closure.
