A New Silicon Detector Telescope for Measuring the Linear Energy Transfer Distribution over the Range from 0.2 to 400 keV/µm in Space
View through CrossRef
A new telescope consisting of three two-dimensional position-sensitive
silicon detectors which can measure the linear energy transfer
(LET) distribution over the range
from 0.2 to 400 keV/µ m has
been developed as a real-time radiation monitor in manned
spacecraft. First, the principle of LET measurement and its design method
are described. Second, suitable electronic parameters for the LET measurement
are experimentally determined. Finally, the telescope performance is
investigated by using relativistic heavy ions. The first in-flight test of this
type of telescope on the US Space Shuttle (STS-84) is scheduled for May, 1997.

Title: A New Silicon Detector Telescope for Measuring the Linear Energy Transfer Distribution over the Range from 0.2 to 400 keV/µm in Space
Description:
A new telescope consisting of three two-dimensional position-sensitive
silicon detectors which can measure the linear energy transfer
(LET) distribution over the range
from 0.
2 to 400 keV/µ m has
been developed as a real-time radiation monitor in manned
spacecraft.
First, the principle of LET measurement and its design method
are described.
Second, suitable electronic parameters for the LET measurement
are experimentally determined.
Finally, the telescope performance is
investigated by using relativistic heavy ions.
The first in-flight test of this
type of telescope on the US Space Shuttle (STS-84) is scheduled for May, 1997.
