Scientific paper

This paper presents detailed data on positive ion flux observations acquired during an active rocket-borne ion beam injection experiment, using the hemispheric electrostatic energy and pitch angle spectrometer (HEEPS) which was separated from the beam-emitting payload by distances along and across geomagnetic field lines which varied systematically during the experiment. The data obtained by the HEEPS illustrate a number of outstanding features of the ion flux environment near the HEEPS instrument during beam operations, some of which are not understood. It is shown that particle, field, and photometric data support a picture of particularly intense beam-plasma interactions in the immediate vicinity of the beam-emitting payload.
