Scientific paper

The 3D Plasma and Energetic Particles Experiment on the WIND spacecraft provides high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, good energy and angular resolution, full 3-D coverage, and high time resolution over the energy range from a few eV to greater than 300 keV for electrons and greater than about 6 MeV for ions. Results are reported for electrons from the first year of operation. These include: the detection of a quiet-time 'super-halo' component of interplanetary electrons from about 1 to 100 keV; the discovery that the spectrum of impulsive solar electron events extends down to as low as about 0.5 keV energy; the remote probing of the Earth's bow shock; and detailed studies of the electron beam/plasma wave interaction responsible for solar type II radio bursts.
