Incoming particle scattering Stochastic Injection of Energetic Particles from Bow Shock and from Tailward reconnection region Nonadiabatic because gyroradius ~ B scale-length locally Particle orbit diffusion due to field fluctuations
Magnetic field geometry
Charged particle orbits, static B: Fast gyration about field line North-south bounce due to “magnetic mirror” force Slow east-west drift due to inhomogeneous magnetic field ExB drifts due to electric fields
