<p>It has been confirmed that dipolarization fronts (DFs) can be a result from the existence of interchange instability in the magnetotail. In this paper, we used a Hall MHD model to simulate the evolution of the interchange instability, which produces DFs on the leading edge. A test particle simulation was performed to study the physical phenomenon of ion acceleration on DF. Numerical simulation indicates that almost all particles move towards the earthward and dawnward and then drift to the tail. The DF-reflected ion population on the duskside appears earlier as a consequence of the asymmetric Hall electric field. Ions, with dawn-dusk asymmetric semicircle behind the DF, may tend to be accelerated to a higher energy (> 13.5 keV). These high-energy particles are eventually concentrated in the dawnside. Ions experience effective acceleration by the dawnward electric field Ey while they drift through the dawn flank of the front towards the tail.</p>
