Savenkov, B.V., Zelenyi, L.M., Ashour-Abdalla, M. and Büchner, J. (1991). Regular and chaotic aspects of charged particle motion in a magnetotail-like field with a neutral line. Geophysical Research Letters 18: doi: 10.1029/91GL01854. issn: 0094-8276.

The motion of charged particles is studied numerically and analytically using a test particle approach. Acceleration near the X-type neutral line is described in terms of adiabatic invariants and separatrix crossings. The relation between regular and chaotic properties of the process is discussed for a realistic source in the plasma mantle. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
