A rapid non-stochastic proton acceleration mechanism by electrostatic waves during the substorm activity in the magnetospheric tail is presented to explain the origin of energetic protons (up to MeV). The protons are accelerated normal to the neutral sheet. Near a reconnection point, however, the protons are also accelerated along the sheet by a second process.
