PADs observed when a hypothetical spacecraft crosses an RCS at different angles at t = 33Ωi. Left column: path perpendicular to the midplane x = 0. Right column: path quasi-parallel to the midplane. The color bars in the top rows indicate the amplitudes of generated By with the in-plane magnetic field topology (black lines) and the paths of the spacecraft (green lines). The middle and bottom rows present the PADs of higher- and lower-energy electrons seen on the paths. The simulation starts with no guiding field (bg = 0).
