摘要：

We show that due to correlations between subsequent separatrix traversals the chaotic scattering of thermal ions and energetic electrons in the plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetotail is modulated, oscillating in dependence on the strength of the magnetic field inhomogeneity and particle energy. Correlation-modulated chaotic scattering creates non-Maxwellian features of the magnetotail ion distribution both in the CPS and the PSBL. It also causes an oscillating latitudinal variation of the auroral ion precipitation.
