Popis:	The present numerical model for neutral or charged dust-particle distribution prediction in P/Halley encompasses the spatial and temporal variations of the plasma parameters and magnetic field. A significant difference is noted between results for neutral dust trajectories and the trajectories of charged dust particles with radii smaller than 0.1 micron. While most of the model and in situ mass spectra were in good agreement, there is a shortage of the lowest-mass model particles, as well as an offset of the total counting rate for two outbound mass spectra. A combination of two Lorentzian particle mass-density functions with a 100:1 ratio for the number of particles with the lower and higher density functions yielded the best agreement.
