2.2.0 spase://SMWG/Instrument/Helios2/E7 Galactic and Solar Cosmic Rays 2019-05-05T12:34:56Z The detector complement of this experiment (E7) consisted of three separate dE/dx vs E telescopes and a proportional counter for monitoring solar X rays in the range 2-8 keV. The high-energy telescope had a geometric factor of 0.22 sq cm-sr and measured electrons in three ranges between 2 and 8 MeV, and protons and alpha particles in three ranges between 20 and 56 MeV/n. Protons above 230 MeV were also measured. The first low-energy telescope (geometric factor was 0.155 sq cm-sr) measured protons and Z>1 particles in three ranges between 3 and 21 MeV/n. The second low-energy telescope (geometric factor was 0.015 sq cm-sr) measured protons in several ranges between 0.12 and 2.1 MeV, alpha particles in the ranges 0.6-2.1 and 6-21.2 MeV/n, and electrons in four ranges between 0.12 and 2 MeV. For a number of coincidence modes, counting-rate data sectored into eight 45-deg sectors were obtained. The data cycle time was dependent on the spacecraft telemetry rate (variable between 4096 and 8 bits/s) and format. Under optimum conditions, five events per second were pulse-height analyzed and the rate data cycle was of the order of 5 min. At the slowest combination of bit rate and format, a complete data cycle required about 2.5 h. See IEEE Trans. on Nuc.
