Contents
The COSTEP instruments LION (Low energy Ion and electron instruments) and
EPHIN (Electron Proton Helium Instrument) measure electrons and protons
above 40 keV up to above 5 MeV for electrons and greater than
53 MeV for protons.
Helium is detected above 6 MeV and helium isotopes are separated between
4 and 53 MeV/n.
The instruments are designed to detect sufficiently large samples of solar
atmospheric material also at low intensity solar particle events to correlate
its results with the observations by the other particle instruments on board
and with the observations of the optical instruments on board SOHO (Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory).
Descriptions of the instruments and the data format are given and a possible
correlative data evaluation is discussed.
