Abstract
The effect of the jet of the quasi-neutral plasma of heavy ions on the iono spheric magnetic field is discussed. The data of the magnetometer observati ons during the xenon-ion injection in the course of the APEKS experiment ar e considered. The results of observations are compared with the theoretical model of polarization current closing.
