These timing correlations, the crescent shapes of PSBL ion beams, the CPS ion flux enhancements in the earthward and dawnward directions, and other particle distribution characteristics can all be well reproduced by a simple model of ion reflection and acceleration at earthward‐propagating dipolarization fronts associated with CPS flow bursts. The emerging paradigm, therefore, unifies impulsive transport phenomena across latitudes in the near‐Earth magnetotail plasma sheet.</jats:p> Emergence of the active magnetotail plasma sheet boundary from transient, localized ion acceleration Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics
