Laboratory Observation of Ion Conics by Velocity-Space Tomography of a Plasma
Abstract
Laboratory experiments have examined particular elements of proposed mechanisms for ion conic formation seen in the Earth's auroral-zone magnetosphere. A laser-induced fluorescence diagnostic measured the ion distribution function at many angles in velocity space, allowing tomographic techniques to reconstruct the multidimensional ion distribution function. Ion conics, as well as drifting Maxwellians, were observed. © 1986 The American Physical Society.
