Scientific paper

AMPTE/CCE He(+) and H(+) observations in the magnetosphere, low latitude boundary layer, and magnetosheath reveal that cold plasmaspheric He(+) distributions from the outer magnetosphere convect into the low latitude boundary layer. In the boundary layer, the cold He(+) is accelerated and heated to a few keV. The data are resolved in sufficient detail to show that the process of pickup of the cold He(+) distribution in the boundary layer H(+) flow may not be adequate to explain the observed He(+) distributions in the boundary layer.
