Scientific paper

The Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers (AMPTE) spacecraft carry out the release and monitoring of tracer ions (lithium and barium) in the solar wind and within the distant magnetosphere for studies of access of solar wind ions to the magnetosphere and the convective-diffusive transport and energization of magnetospheric particles. A single massive release of barium in the dawn magnetosheath creates an artificial comet in the flowing solar wind plasma within which diamagnetic effects, ionization, momentum exchange, ion transport and visible phenomena are studied. Comprehensive measurements of the composition and dynamics of the ambient Z or = 2 magnetospheric particle populations at the geomagnetic equator, including the energy interval (20 to 200 keV) of importance to the ring current are proposed.
