Scientific paper

Laboratory data on the interaction of an artificial solar wind with the plasma shell of a wax sphere are compared with observational data on mass transfer in the tail of comet Halley. Electrodynamic forces, calculated from magnetic field configurations obtained in the model experiment, make it possible to explain mass acceleration in the tail to velocities of the order of the solar wind as well as the dynamics of the ray structure. Magnetic field strength in the tail of the comet is calculated under the assumption of the dominant role of electrodynamic forces in the tail; a value of 30-50 gamma is obtained.
