Ion Test Particle Simulations, IMF [Bx,By,Bz] = [0,1,-4.9] nT

Ion test particle simulations for the Frontiers article "Simulated Cusp Ion Dispersions and the Day-side Magnetopause Reconnection Rate." Output cadence is 1 second. Output variables are particle [x,y,z] location, energy, logical isIn (whether the particle is within the simulation domain), and pitch angle. Only those particles which hit the inner boundary (at 5 R_E altitude) were saved. File format is Matlab .mat file. The zenodo repository https://zenodo.org/records/11073300 includes a script to generate synthetic satellite observations in the northern cusp. The global MHD simulation in which the test particles were integrated is archived at https://zenodo.org/records/7675548 (simulation 4).
