The ARCS 3 sounding rocket experiment used two argon guns oriented parallel and perpendicular to the geomagnetic field. The parameters of this experiment have been used in a series of particle simulations in order to interpret ion beam interaction with the multispecies ionospheric plasma. Along with the lower hybrid mode between the electron and the hydrogen gyrofrequencies, ion-ion hybrid modes between the hydrogen and helium gyrofrequencies and between the helium and oxygen gyrofrequencies are identified in the simulations. Besides these cold plasma modes, warm Bernstein modes of the respective ion species are identified. The parallel argon beam injections excite lower hybrid waves perpendicular to the magnetic field because of the finite thermal spread of the parallel beam. Perpendicular ion heating of background hydrogen, helium, and oxygen is comparable in the simulations. Comparisons are made with the wave and particle data from the ARCS 3 rocket experiment.
