  • Abstract
    This paper presents an enhanced approach to extract as much as possible information from raw measurements of a given solid state detector. Here we focus on the benefits of a Singular Value Decomposition approach applied to the special case of the CNES - JASON 2 mission. It allows us to now obtain refined differential fluxes (instead of only coarse integral and differential ones) and extends their resolution for both protons (40MeV-500MeV) and electrons (825 keV-8 MeV). Finally, thanks to the combination of all the information embedded into the different response functions of the ICARE-NG instrument, we are now able to: (1) estimate the uncertainty of our measurements, and (2) automatically filter contamination from both proton and electron in restored fluxes channels.
