摘要

The measurement of the full ion distribution on satellites is impossible if the detector potential meets a positive potential with respect to the ambient plasma. For that reason, and because satellites are often at positive potentials in the magnetosphere, caused by photoelectron emission, a negative bias can be applied on the Hyperboloid ion detector on the Interball-2 satellite as for the GEOS 1 & 2 and DE1 previous satellites. The aim of this work is to compute the perturbations of the ion distributions at the entrance of the detector and more generally to evaluate the real efficiency of the biasing technique. Most of the time the Interball-2 high altitude auroral satellite is charged at a few Volts positive potential with respect to the ambient plasma, as it can be deduced from electrostatic probes measurements. Then a bias, generally -8 V, is applied to Hyperboloid to set its potential negative, but obviously the lower part of the energy range 1-80 V of the instrument would be strongly disturbed. The ions reaching the Hyperboloid entrance windows would have travelled across a continuous huge electrostatic lens involving various spatial scales from ~ 10 cm (detector radius) to ~ 10 m (satellite antennas). Neglecting space charge effects, we have computed 3D potential maps and then the ion trajectories able to reach the Hyperboloid windows within their acceptance angles. We show that, for given values of the satellite potential and for each direction of arrival (each window of the detector), there is an energy cutoff and that the efficiency of the biasing technique is poor because the instrument is very close to the spacecraft body. All ions with energy just above the cutoff can come from a large range of directions in the undisturbed plasma; so, for this particular energy range, the angular measurement becomes undetermined. For all upper energy ranges a precise angular correction can be applied to the measurements. Using an extremely simple two-spheres model, we finally discuss the improvements which could be used in further experiments in the absence or not of any active control of the satellite potential.
