Heavy ion measurement on LDEF
Abstract
Heavy ions with nuclear charge Z = 6 to Z = 26 are detected in a stack of plastic track detectors. The measured energies in the range of 10-240 MeV/nuc are well below the geomagnetic cut off value of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) orbit. The arrival directions of the low energy particles (Z = 6-26, E less than 40 MeV/nuc) are consistent with a trapped component incident in the South Atlantic Anomaly.
