Development and Use of Data Analysis Procedures for the CRRES Payloads AFGL-701-2/Dosimeter and AFGL-701-4/Fluxmeter and Application of the Data Analysis Results to Improve the Static and Dynamic Models of the Earth's Radiation Belts

Abstract

Results of a calibration of a spacecraft instrument for measuring fluxes of high energy electrons (1 to 10 MeV) in the Earth's radiation belts are presented. Experimental results are supplemented by Monte Carlo calculations of electron transmission and energy deposition in the instrument sensors.
