Investigation of the Effect of a Longitudinal Magnetic Field Component on the Dynamics of Protons inside a Plasmoid

Malova, H. V.; Malykhin, A. Yu.; Grigorenko, E. E.

Kinetic effects of the dynamics of protons in plasmoids with a non-zero longitudinal ( By) magnetic field component in a current sheet (CS) of a geomagnetic tail are considered. The results of modeling proton dynamics and a description of the mechanism of emergence of "north-south" density asymmetry are presented. The mechanism that is possibly re…
