Abstract :
The Douglas OGO-F Low Energy Solar Cosmic Ray Experiment measures the differential energy spectrum of protons (5 MeV to 80 MeV) and alphas (18 MeV to 160 MeV) using two double-diffused, totally depleted silicon diodes. The pulse amplitude discrimination syster, the data multiplexing scheme and the in-flight calibrator are discussed.
