Scientific paper

In its first pass through Saturn's magnetosphere, the Cassini spacecraft traversed several distinct regions, as previously identified in Pioneer and Voyager data. Beyond approximately 7 RS, the plasma distributions observed by the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) exhibited a very structured character, with cool, dense plasma alternating with hotter, more tenuous material, often on a very short time scale. The properties of this region as seen by CAPS will be described, with particular attention to composition, energy spectra, and flow velocities. The implications of the observations for various models of plasma origin and transport will be examined.
