Résumé

In a cold magnetized plasma with two light ions of comparable gyrofrequencies and any species of heavy ions and/or charged dust particulates, a technique is developed to recover the relative charge density of the heavy plasma population and to estimate its effective averaged charge-to-mass ratio. Such results can be obtained without using mass spectrometer data but only the measurements of the ion plasma frequency, the electron gyro- and plasma frequencies as well as the two highest ion cutoff frequencies.
