Data Set Overview ================= The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Ion Composition Analyser (ICA) was submitted by Hans Nilsson for the RPCICA team. The data set contains data of mass resolved positively charged ions in the energy range a few eV to 40 keV, given in RAW units (counts). The calibrated data is given for instrument mass channels, not physical mass ranges. Separation into physical mass ranges must be performed by the end user using calibration data. This dataset contains corrected and RESAMPLED RAW DATA from the RPCICA instrument on mission ROSETTA during the flyby of asteroid Lutetia. The data has been corrected for cross-talk using an automatic algorithm, and noise has been treated to be even regardless of onward noise suppression. The data is the same as L4 CORR but in counts, not physical units. The data may due to noise treatment have negative values. RPC-ICA suffered an overheating event shortly after turn on, and did not obtain any measurements of value. An automatic algorithm that is not reversible has been applied to remove cross-talk and adjust for uneven sensitivity of anodes. Therefore this data is described as RESAMPLED. It is the same as L4 CORR but with no calibration applied.
