Analyze Data From the PASP Plus Dosimeter on the APEX Spacecraft.

Abstract

Data analysis procedures for the PASP Plus Dosimeter have been specified, and the calibration constants for the SN/2 unit in the APEX spacecraft have been provided. The SN/1 unit calibration data from the MIT Van de Graaff have been reduced to geometric factors. The new calibrated geometric factors for the 1 MeV electron threshold D2A and D2B detectors deviate slightly from the earlier calibrations of the CRRES Dosimeter 1 MeV electron threshold Dl detector. The PASP Plus Dosimeter electro calibration data are believed to be the more accurate, and are likely to apply to the CRRES Dl detector.
