Research Abstract

An equipment to measure the angular distribution of the scattered ions at a target that simulates the Moon surface was manufactured. By injecting ion beam that simulates solar wind, angular distribution of the scattered/reflected ions was obtained. In parallel, the solar wind proton scattering/reflection data obtained by lunar orbiter Kaguya were analyzed. The analyzed result was published in a refereed journal.
