Space Particle Modeling, Measurements, and Effects: Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) Proton Calibration

Abstract

This report describes the first calibration of the Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) instrument particle telescope with high energy (>20 MeV) protons. The two units calibrated were S/N 004 (flight unit w/tungsten collimator) and S/N 006 (engineering unit identical to the Tri-Service Experiment 5 [TSX-5]) CEASE. Both instruments were calibrated at the cyclotron at the Francis H. Burr Proton Therapy Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). We report the results of those calibrations and the subsequent analyses.
