On April 21, 2001 a CME started to interact with the magnetosphere when CLUSTER II Satellites were travelling in the higher latitudes region. We examine the energetic ions and their behaviours in the high latitude region of the magnetosphere during the leading phase of the CME which caused a strong magnetic storm (D_st=‑103 nT…
