Scientific paper

Initial measurements of thermal ions (0 to 50 eV) at mid-latitudes by the Retarding Ion Mass Spectrometer (RIMS) on DE-1 are presented. These measurements show the plasmapause signature in H(+), He(+), and m/q = 2 ions, an enhancement or torus of O(+) and O(++) in the outer plasmasphere and the suggestion of a disconnection between the ionosphere and the bulge region of the plasmasphere.
