Scientific paper

MHD simulations of the propagation of magnetic clouds in the interplanetary medium show that interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) lines, draping around the cloud, are often bent in a complicated way. The magnetic field along these field lines (even on nonbent sections) is not smoothly decreasing with increasing distance from the Sun but usually exhibits several extreme values (minima and maxima). Depressions in the IMF strength may trap energetic particles with suitable energies and pitch angles. These particles may remain trapped (in the expanding region) until the IMF configuration changes. Possible locations of magnetic traps are shown in this paper.
