PI Comments/Explanations

 

The instrument consists of 4 telescopes each with a geometrical factor of 0.08 cm2 sr. Data shown are omnidirectional protons (OP). Energy range is 500 ­ 1600 keV. Data are averaged over all four telescopes, and also over 2 spinperiods (24 sec). Each telescope has 3 detectors (A, B and C), and protons are identified by AB(not C) coincidences.
