  Ion energy measurements have been made in the scrape off layer of the Mega
Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) using a midplane retarding field energy analyser
(RFEA) in H-mode plasmas during the inter-edge localised mode (ELM) period and
during type I and type III ELMs. During the inter-ELM period at distances of 3
to 8 cm from the last closed flux surface (LCFS), ion temperatures of 20 to 70
eV have been measured giving an ion to electron temperature ratio of 2 to 7
with a mean of 4. During type III ELMs, an ion temperature of 50 eV has been
measured 3 to 6 cm from the LCFS which decreases to 30 eV at distances 11 to 16
cm from the LCFS. During type I ELMs, an ion temperature of 40 eV has been
measured at a distance of 10 to 15 cm from the LCFS.
