dc.description.abstract	An experiment designed to measure the differential energy spectrum and a coarse mass spectrum of ions near the lunar surface (Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment) was deployed by the Apollo XII astronauts. This experiment has yielded evidence for a general mechanism which accelerates originally thermal ions up to several hundred electron volts.
