2.2.6 spase://CDPP/Instrument/AMDA/STEREO-B/PLASTIC PLASTIC Plasma and Supra-Thermal Ion Composition 2009-06-10T21:11:13Z The PLAsma and SupraThermal Ion and Composition (PLASTIC) investigation provides composition (M, M/q), energy spectra and directional information for 0.3-80 keV/q ions, including solar wind H+ and He++ in the "SWS Small Channel," solar wind C, O, MG, Si, and Fe in the "SWS Main Channel," and locally accelerated ions (H+, He++, He+) and pickup ions (He+, <40 keV/q) in the "Wide Angle Partition." The hardware consists of entrance, time of flight, and electronics subsystems. Mass spectroscospy is achieved by analysis of energy vs. time-of-flight tracks. Further detail is available from from Galvin et al, Sp. Sci. Rev. (2008) 136, 437-486. spase://SMWG/Person/Antoinette.B.Galvin PrincipalInvestigator NSSDC's Master Catalog http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/masterCatalog.do?sc=2006-047B&ex=4 Information about the Plasma and Supra-Thermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) Investigation experiment on the STEREO B mission.
