The instrument, which covers an energy per charge range from 0.16 + to 59.6 keV/e in ~13 min, combines an electrostatic analyzer with post-acceleration, followed by a time-of-flight and energy measurement. + The measurements made by SWICS will have an impact on many areas of solar and heliospheric physics, in particular providing essential + and unique information on: (i) conditions and processes in the region of the corona where the solar wind is accelerated; (ii) the + location of the source regions of the solar wind in the corona; (iii) coronal heating processes; (iv) the extent and causes of + variations in the composition of the solar atmosphere; (v) plasma processes in the solar wind; (vi) the acceleration of energetic + particles in the solar wind; (vii) the thermalization and acceleration of interstellar ions in the solar wind, and their composition; + and (viii) the composition, charge states and behavior of the plasma in various regions of the Jovian magnetosphere.</Description> + <Contact> + <PersonID>spase://SMWG/Person/George.Gloeckler</PersonID> + <Role>PrincipalInvestigator</Role> + </Contact> + <InformationURL> + <Name>Instrument description at ESA's cosmos portal</Name> + <URL>https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/ulysses/swics-instrument</URL> + </InformationURL> + </ResourceHeader> + <InstrumentType>EnergeticParticleInstrument</InstrumentType> + <InvestigationName>Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (GLG/SWICS) on Ulysses</InvestigationName> + <ObservatoryID>spase://CNES/Observatory/CDPP-AMDA/Ulysses</ObservatoryID> + </Instrument> +</Spase> -- libgit2 0.21.2
