Top: ϕ-profile of the normalized current density flowing along the θ-direction in the equatorial plane (θ = 90°) for r = 48 R_LC and χ = 60°. The locations of the current sheets and wind regions are labeled “Layer 1,” “Layer 2,” and “wind,” respectively. Middle: corresponding ϕ-resolved particle energy spectrum. Bottom: decomposition of the total particle spectrum in the striped region (dashed black line) into a wind component (solid red line) and a layers component (solid blue line). The vertical dotted lines show γ = Γ_∞ ≈ 11 and γ = σ_LC ≈ 50.
