Low-energy electron emission at the separation of gold-platinum surfaces induced by galactic cosmic rays on board LISA Pathfinder
Grimani, Catia; Villani, Mattia; Fabi, Michele +1 more
Galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles will induce spurious Coulomb forces on free-falling, gold-platinum test-masses on board the future interferometers for low-frequency gravitational wave detection in space. The European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was aimed to test the performance of instruments that will be placed o…
Multi-correlation analyses of TOF-SIMS spectra for mineralogical studies
Thomas, R.; Engrand, C.; Martin, P. +2 more
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-SIMS, COSIMA experiment) has been launched by ESA the 2nd March 2004, on board the comet bound spacecraft "ROSETTA". The scientific objectives of COSIMA are the determination of the compositions of cometary grains as well as the molecular analyses of their exposed organic compounds. These analyses will provi…
