Data Set Information
DATA_SET_NAME GO JUPITER EPD REFORMATTED HIGH RES SECTOR V1.0
DATA_SET_ID GO-J-EPD-2-REDR-HIGHRES-SECTOR-V1.0
NSSDC_DATA_SET_ID
DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION This data set contains high time resolution data for the Galileo Energetic Particle Detector at various sampling rates. All data obtained from the Io flyby (December 1995) to end of mission are contained in this data set.
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
This data set contains two versions of three different data file
types.  One version is a corrected form of the other ('C').  The
corrected data are adjusted for minute gaps in between the detector
cycles.  Each version contains the following types:

  16 sector (64 channel) at 1.25s time resolution
  32 sector (16 channel) at 0.6s time resolution
  64 sector (8 channel)  at 0.3s time resolution

This data ranges from the Io flyby (December 1995) to end of mission.
All available motor positions are provided.  Step 0, which looks behind
the background shield, is included for an indication of the background
penetration of the detector.  The rates reported are in units of
(counts/sec), pitch and phase angles are in (radians). The sectors are
ordered in time.

Pitch angle is the angle between the look direction of the detector
and the observed magnetic field.  Phase angle is the angle measured from
the x-axis to the projection of the look direction onto the xy plane
of a local magnetic coordinate system where the z-axis is the magnetic
field direction, the x-axis lies in a plane defined by the direction of
corotation and the z-axis, and y completes the set of the right hand
coordinate system.

Transform Counts/Sec-> Differential Flux:

Given the count rate R, pass band of the particle dE, and the
geometrical factor G of the detector it is possible to calculate
(dE and G are available in the EPD instrument template) differential
flux j=R/(G dE).  For example, given a rate 3000 counts/sec for channel
E2, we find in the EPD instrument template that

dE= (0.055-0.042)=.013 MeV, G=.035 cm**2 Sr.

This gives a differential flux of 6.59 10**06 (cm**2 MeVs Sr)**-1.

particle data included in this browse set see Electron Beams and Ion
Composition Measured at Io and its Torus by Williams et al., Science Vol.

[WILLIAMSETAL1996].

This data set is highly discontinuous in time. Because of the severe
limitations in the downlink capability of the Galileo spacecraft,
LPW rate data were recorded only for targeted observations. Most
of these data were acquired near the Galilean moons, although
selected observations were made in various locations around the
magnetosphere. Table 1 below provides a listing of the start and
stop times of the recorded data segments, organized according to.
where the data were acquired.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE
The data in this set is a product of the processing done by the
Galileo Energetic Particles Detector Archive Processor (EPDPROC1991).
Data in this browse set includes all the data available  for LEMMS
rates with data quality flag 0 (bad) and 1 (good).  Rates with a data
quality flag of 0 are set to -1.0, all other rates have a data
quality flag of 1 including rates of 0.000. The error bars for each
rate is calculated from the standard deviation (SD) formula for a
distribution of particles following Poisson statistics
(n=number of counts) SD=+-n/Sqrt(n). The EPD team has not yet come up
with a consistent way to remove the background from the data.  Close
attention should be paid to the step 0 count rate.  The difference in
count rate between the foreground (step 1-7) and the background
(step 0) will give an indication of the validity of this data. For
example, several times during the Io encounter the Galileo Space Craft
stepped behind the background shield (step 0).  There was little or no
reduction in rate for the higher energy electron channels F0 to F3 from
the foreground.  This indicates that they are dominated by background.
CITATION_DESCRIPTION Williams, D.J., Armstrong, T.P., McEntire, R.W., GO JUPITER EPD REFORMATTED HIGH RES SECTOR V1.0, GO-J-EPD-2-REDR-HIGHRES-SECTOR-V1.0, NASA Planetary Data System, 1999
ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set contains two versions of three different data file types. One version is a corrected form of the other ('C'). The corrected data are adjusted for minute gaps in between the detector cycles. This data ranges from the Io flyby (December 1995) to end of mission. All available motor positions are provided. Step 0, which looks behind the background shield, is included for an indication of the background penetration of the detector. The rates reported are in units of (counts/sec), pitch and phase angles are in (radians). The sectors are ordered in time
