Description
Summary:This study outlines the achievements of the first year of work on data acquired by the Lockheed Ion Mass Spectrometer (IMS-LO), one of the space radiation group of instruments on the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES). The purpose of IMS-LO is to study the low energy (110eV-35 keV) ion component of the ring current plasma. The primary data processing is proceeding rapidly, as is the construction of databases of validated low energy ion data. A number of events have been selected for special study and one of these has been analysed in detail. A tentative identification has been made of a new mechanism which causes loss of ions. Original contains color plates: All DTIC and NTIS reproductions will be in black and white.
