Analysis of the cumulative mass distribution of the comet Halley dust efflux in the close encounter period -300 s to +300 s is presented. Analysis of the cumulative mass distribution index (α) shows considerable short time scale variation. There is clear evidence from the flux rates of passage through at least one major dust enhancement (dust jet) just after closest approach and this is associated with a steepening of the index α. Comparison with measurements from other sources, and with pre-encounter predictions, is also made.
