The project is for a continuation of research focused on the theoretical understanding of current sheets and the particle signatures resulting from kinetic processes in the magnetotail. The project will extend these investigations to the examination of more realistic configurations by using less idealized particle and field models as well as the examination of the two dimensional and time dependence aspects of these models and of neutral line signatures. The particular focus of effort will be to examine four areas in which particle kinetics may have a profound role as either a driver or diagnostic of magnetospheric behavior.

该项目旨在继续开展研究，重点是从理论上了解电流片和磁尾动力学过程产生的粒子特征。 该项目将通过使用不太理想化的粒子和场模型以及检查这些模型和中性线签名的二维和时间依赖性方面，将这些调查扩展到更现实的配置检查。 特别重点的努力将是审查四个领域，其中粒子动力学可能有深刻的作用，无论是驱动器或磁层行为的诊断。
