Scientific paper

The differential proton fluxes and the rigidities of the proton spectra measured on board the Molniia 1 satellite (January through April 1974) are analyzed for energies ranging from 31 to 377 keV. Data obtained under quiet conditions and in the presence of weak magnetic activity indicate that proton fluxes with energies of several tens of keV, in the region above L = 6, are close to the levels that are critical for the ion-cyclotron instability.
