Energetic ion composition of the plasma sheet
Journal Article
·
· J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)
Data obtained from the energetic ion mass spectrometer experiment on Isee 1 in the distant plasma sheet are presented. These data show that (1) the plasma sheet has a significant and variable ionospheric component (H/sup +/ and O/sup +/) representing from 10% to more than 50% of the total number density and (2) there is more than one process responsible for the energization of solar wind plasma (H/sup +/ and He/sup + +/) to plasma sheet energies.
