Scientific paper

This review summarizes the work in the field of magnetospheric energetic particles during the years 1987-1989. First, it follows the path of ions extracted out of the polar ionosphere and their acceleration parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field, as well as their subsequent transport into the equatorial magnetosphere and tail region. Then it focuses on acceleration of ions in the magnetotail and the related characteristics in the boundary layers including consequences for current substorm modeling. Finally, leading beyond the boundaries of the magnetosphere, attention is drawn to the still ongoing debate on the source of energetic particles upstream of the earth's bow shock and the respective importance of particle leakage and/or acceleration at the magnetospheric boundaries.
