<p>Differential flow among different ion species are always observed in the solar wind, and such ion differential flow can provide a free energy to drive the Alfven/ion-cyclotron and fast-magnetosonic/whistler instabilities. Previous works on the ion beam instability are mainly focused on the solar wind parameters at 1 au. We extend this study using the radial model of the magnetic field and plasma parameters in the inner heliosphere. We present the distributions of the energy transfer rate among the unstable waves and the particles, which would be useful to predict the change of parallel and perpendicular temperatures during the instability evolution. Moreover, we propose an effective growth length to estimate the effective growth in each instability, and we explore that the oblique Alfven/ion-cyclotron instability, the oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler instability and the oblique Alfven/ion-beam instability can be effectively driven by proton beams having speed of 500-2000 km/s in the solar atmosphere. We also show that the unstable waves driven by the proton beam instability would be responsible for the solar corona heating. These predictions can be checked by in situ satellite measurements in the inner heliosphere.</p>

Abstract. On board the four Cluster spacecraft, the Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) experiment measures the full, three-dimensional ion distribution of the major magnetospheric ions (H+, He+, He++, and O+) from the thermal energies to about 40 keV/e. The experiment consists of two different instruments: a COmposition and DIstribution Function analyser (CIS1/CODIF), giving the mass per charge composition with medium (22.5°) angular resolution, and a Hot Ion Analyser (CIS2/HIA), which does not offer mass resolution but has a better angular resolution (5.6°) that is adequate for ion beam and solar wind measurements. Each analyser has two different sensitivities in order to increase the dynamic range. First tests of the instruments (commissioning activities) were achieved from early September 2000 to mid January 2001, and the operation phase began on 1 February 2001. In this paper, first results of the CIS instruments are presented showing the high level performances and capabilities of the instruments. Good examples of data were obtained in the central plasma sheet, magnetopause crossings, magnetosheath, solar wind and cusp measurements. Observations in the auroral regions could also be obtained with the Cluster spacecraft at radial distances of 4–6 Earth radii. These results show the tremendous interest of multispacecraft measurements with identical instruments and open a new area in magnetospheric and solar wind-magnetosphere interaction physics.Key words. Magnetospheric physics (magnetopause, cusp and boundary layers; magnetopheric configuration and dynamics; solar wind - magnetosphere interactions)

We study spectral features of Alfvénic turbulence in fast solar wind. We propose a general, instrument independent method to estimate the uncertainty in velocity fluctuations obtained by in-situ satellite observations in the solar wind. We show that when the measurement uncertainties of the velocity fluctuations are taken into account the less energetic Elsasser spectrum obeys a unique power law scaling throughout the inertial range as prevailing theories of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence predict.
