Scientific paper

A model describing the initial Ba(+) cloud noted in the AMPTE program is presented which stresses the diamagnetic aspects of the interaction. Based on the observed magnetic field profile, it is suggested that the Ba(+) gyroradius becomes shorter than the cloud radius, and that the Ba(+) ions are magnetized. Momentum coupling force between the Ba(+) cloud and the solar wind in their relative streaming direction will produce an acceleration drift in the direction identical to the observed motion of the cloud, and the observed acceleration force is used to compute the magnitude of the coupling force and to compare it with other models.
