Heavy Ion Telescope (HIT) from the Charge and Mass Magnetospheric Ion Composition Experiment (CAMMICE) suite

ResourceID
spase://SMWG/Instrument/POLAR/CAMMICE-HIT

Description

The CAMMICE-HIT results include ion mass, elemental identification, and incident energy between ~100keV/ion to 60MeV/ion. The sensor is a three-element Solid-State Detector (SSD). Details of the sensor logic and detector thicknesses are available from the referenced instrument paper. Spatial resolution is 8 degrees conical at 90 degrees to the spin axis. Temporal resolution is 6 seconds for the full spectrum, with a 1/16 spin minimum sample time. Energy resolution is 10%. Sensitivity range is from 1 to 5E7 particles/(cm^2steradiansec).
