Measurements of nearly monoenergetic 65 KeV protons above active auroral forms were obtained on a rocket flight from Andenes (Norway) on Oct. 13, 1977. Analysis of the pitch angle distribution of the 30 KeV protons and the azimuthal anisotropy of the proton fluxes support a model of a proton beam of finite spatial extent. The particle observations occur simultaneously with ULF-waves in the frequency range 0.5 - 5Hz. The particle distribution function is unstable to an amplification of obliquely propagating Alfven waves. It is concluded that the waves amplified by resonant interaction with the proton beam.
