Scientific paper

An ISEE-3 Geotail Mission sensor has furnished data on a 16-min particle intensity increase in the distant magnetotail from which rest frame distribution functions have been deduced for 3-150 keV/amu H(+), He(++), and ions with a charge state greater than 3. The event was characterized by isotropic electron distributions and is identified as a tailward-moving plasmoid. These suprathermal ions are convected nearly tailward at an average speed of 1000 + or - 50 km/sec and have an energy density of 150 eV/cu cm. A crosstail expansion speed of about 80 km/sec is indicated.
