Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to briefly describe the EPAC investigation aboard the Ulysses spacecraft. The EPAC sensor will measure the fluxes, angular distributions, energy spectra, and composition of ions in the energy range from 300 keV/nucleon to 25 MeV/nucleon. Some measurements will be shown obtained after turn-on in interplanetary space.
