NSSDCA ID: 1984-088A-02
Mission Name: AMPTE/CCEThe instrument consisted of a collimator and an electron sweeping magnet followed by a 10-cm time-of-flight (TOF) telescope with thin foils at the front and midpoint and a solid-state detector at the rear. Incident ion TOF was measured from the front foil to the back detector and from the center foil to the back detector, and energy was measured in the back detector. The dual TOF measurement and very fast energy channel processing gave high immunity to accidental events, and allowed the instrument to measure the composition and spectra of both common species and tracer ions over a species-dependent energy range of >10 keV/nucleon to 6 MeV/nucleon, with a geometric factor of 1.E-2 sq cm-sr and 32-sector angular resolution.
