Abstract
The design and performance of a Cerenkov telescope intended for the spectral analysis of protons and alphas from the GOES and TIROS spacecraft are described. Four proton data channels E p > 370 MeV and two alpha channels E α > 640 MeV/nucleon are provided. The response to cyclotron protons in the 350–570 MeV range is described relative to: angular response, energy response, energy resolution, and counting efficiency. The response to sea-level muons is also presented.
