      Instrument Overview
      ===================

      (excerpted from [GLOECKLERETAL1992])

      Abstract. -- The Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer
      (SWICS) on Ulysses is designed to determine uniquely the
      elemental and ionic-charge composition, and the temperatures
      and mean speeds of all major solar-wind ions, from H through
      Fe, at solar wind speeds ranging from 175 km/s (protons) to
      1280 km/s (Fe^8+). 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."
