MODIFICATION OF THE HIGH ENERGY PROTON SPECTROMETER TO MEASURE ELECTRONS AND LOW ENERGY PROTONS

Abstract

The capability of the high energy proton spectrometer system developed to measure the flux and energy spectrum of protons above 1 mev in the Van Allen radiation belts and interplanetary space has been expanded to enable measurements of protons and electrons between about 40 kevAND 4 MEV. Modifications to the system include the addition of two detectors (one for low energy proton detection and one for electron detection), and the addition of a programmer circuit and 7 channels to the 5 channel electronic analyzer package.
