Spatial structure of the plasma sheet boundary layer at distances greater than 180 R<sub>E</sub> as derived from energetic particle measurements on GEOTAIL
We have analyzed the onsets of energetic particle bursts detected by the ICS and STICS sensors of the EPIC instrument on board the GEOTAIL spacecraft in the deep magnetotail (i.e., at distances greater than 180 R<sub>E</sub>). Such bursts are commonly observed at the plasma-sheet bou...
