Valtonen, E.; Peltonen, J.; Eronen, T. +5 more

ERNE is designed to study the composition and energy spectra of particles encountered in interplanetary space in the energy range from 1 MeV/n to well beyond 500 MeV/n. Several innovative ideas had to be incorporated in the design of the instrument in order to fulfill the scientific requirements. Position-sensitive strip detectors are used in the …
