Measurement Principle
High-Energy Particle instrument for electrons, one of the MPPE sensors, measures energy spectra of high-energy electrons from 30 up to 700 keV to study plasma acceleration and transport in Mercury’s magnetosphere and coupling between magnetosphere and exosphere. It consists of Single-sided silicon strip Solid-State Detector and ASIC (SSSD-ASIC), front-end processing board, and high-voltage supply unit.
