Abstract

The Suprathermal Energy Ionic Charge Analyzer (SULEICA) on AMPTE IRM is an instrument to determine the ionic charge state and mass composition of all major ions from H through Fe for energies of the suprathermal plasma (?5 up to ?270 keV/charge) by the use of electrostatic deflection, time-of-flight measurement, and energy analysis in solid-state detectors. With its acceptance fan of 400° X 10° the instrument scans a field of 360° by 40° in the satellite spin plane. The data contain counting rate information for the evaluation of absolute particle fluxes, live pulse-height events, and matrix rates for selected ions from on-board processing with a microprocessor.
