DEVELOPMENT OF OMNIDIRECTIONAL HIGH-ENERGY PROTON SPECTROMETERS.
Abstract
The Omnidirectional High-Energy Proton Spectrometer (OHEPS) is designed to measure the high-energy flux and the dose deposited by protons with energies of a few hundred Mev. These measurements are achieved in the OHEPS by placing a small silicon detector at the center of a sphere of dense shielding material. The proton energy losses in the detector are measured above four energy thresholds and the total number of events above each threshold is recorded. These measurements, when integrated over unit time, yield dose rate and count rate of the high energy protons. Two instruments, designated OHEPS-1 and OHEPS-2, were developed under contract F29601-67-C-0005 and are described in Section I. In Section II, the calibration procedure is discussed, and the operation and checkout procedures are described in Section III. (Author)
