Data Set Abstract |
This data set represents the maximum count rate per second in a
12 second period beginning with the time of the first data point
for a given mass number. Although species other than O+ cannot be
reduced to to a flux and direction it is possible to estimate the
approximate flux from the maximum count rate per second occurring
within one spin period (about 12 seconds). The maximum count rate
can be approximately converted to a flux using:
[4.E7 (particles/cm**2/sec)]/[1.E4 (counts/sec)].
This sensitivity is for O+. At higher mass numbers the sensitivity
is less, being about a factor of 2.5 lower for Ar+. |
