Contents
The group of instruments involved in the COSTEP (comprehensive suprathermal
and energetic particle analyzer) project are described.
Three sensors, the LION (low energy ion and electron) instrument, the
MEICA (medium energy ion composition analyzer) and the EPHIN (electron proton
helium instrument) are described.
They are designed to analyze particle emissions from the sun over a wide range
of species (electrons through iron) and energies (60 KeV/particle to
500 MeV/nucleon).
The data collected will be used in studying solar and space plasma physics.
