Proton and heavy ion acceleration by stochastic fluctuations in the Earth's magnetotail
Spacecraft observations show that energetic ions are found in the Earth's magnetotail, with energies ranging from tens of keV to a few hundreds of keV. In this paper we carry out test particle simulations in which protons and other ion species are injected in the Vlasov magnetic field config...
