Scientific paper

Up to now, evidence for the presence of neutral hydrogen in space, outside the earth's atmosphere, has been based on measurements of resonantly scattered sunlight. Vasyliunas and Siscoe (1976) have discussed the possibility to detect hydrogen ions which have been produced in processes involving neutral particles as source material. These processes can be related to charge exchange between solar wind protons and neutral hydrogen or to photoionization due to sunlight. Protons formed as a result of the considered processes can be easily distinguished from solar wind protons on the basis of their velocity characteristics. The present investigation is concerned with direct evidence for H(+) ions in the interplanetary space, taking into account data provided by the solar wind experiment EGD on board of the ISEE 2 satellite.
