Evidence for negative charging of the lunar surface in shadow

Observations of electron distributions above the shadowed surface of the Moon show energy-dependent loss cones which indicate reflection by both magnetic and electric fields. At the same time, low energy (≲100 eV) field aligned upward-going electron beams are observed. Together, these observations i...
