Trapped iron measured on LDEF
Abstract
Heavy ions far below the cutoff energy were detected on the 28.5 deg inclination orbit of LDEF in a plastic track detector experiment. The Fe-group particles show a constant energy spectrum at 50 less than or equal to E less than or equal to 200 MeV/nuc. The steep energy spectrum of Fe-particles at 20 less than or equal to E less than or equal to 50 MeV/nuc and the arrival directions of these ions is consistent with a trapped component incident in the South Atlantic Anomaly at values of L=1.4-1.6.
