Scientific paper

The present evaluation of the possibility of transient particle acceleration in the Mercury magnetosphere during substorm-like events employs a simple analytical model to simulate the case of a dipolarization effect. Protons and alpha particles are shown to be accelerated to a few tens of keV in the case of a corresponding dipolarization time scale of the order of 10 sec; Na-cloud impulses might then be generated via surface sputtering.
