Short summary
From computer simulations we study how free electrons behave in a region where opposite magnetic fields interact. The particles get disturbed and change their velocity and energy, similar to what happens in the tail of the magnetic field on the nightside of the Earth or during magnetic outburst events on the Sun. We provide a catalog of those particle velocities that are specific to their location within the magnetic field. Scientists may use the data for comparison with satellite observations.
