Scientific paper

Calculated results from a modified one-dimensional time-dependent plasma expansion model are compared with wake measurements of low-energy H(+) ions made in the plasmasphere which consists of 77-90 percent H(+) and 23-10 percent He(+). The variation of the theoretical-to-experimental results with the H(+) ionic Mach number in the range 0.5-1.2 is shown. It is found that the theoretical model used overestimates the particle flux in the wake by factors of 2 to 6. Possible causes for these differences are examined.
