Scientific paper

The suprathermal ion detector experiment regularly observes ion events normally ranging from 250 eV/q to 1000 eV/q all through the lunar night. These ion events occur most often 2 to 3 days prior to the sunrise terminator. There is also a secondary activity peak 3 to 4 days after local sunset on the moon. The events are normally of 4 hr or less in duration, and the integral flux is 1 million ions per sq cm/sec/sr. This article discussed the character of these events and presents preliminary findings of a detailed study on this subject.
