New views of solar energetic particles from the Advanced Composition Explorer [PDF]
Since its launch in August 1997, the Advanced Composition Explorer has been measuring the elemental, isotopic, and ionic charge-state composition of solar energetic particles with three new, high-resolution instruments (SEPICA, SIS, and ULEIS).

Energetic particles emitted from energetic nuclear reactions [PDF]
Protons and pions emitted with extreme momenta from energetic proton and heavy ion induced nuclear reactions are analysed in terms of two simple phenomenological models: the nuclear phase space model and a simplified multiple collision model. The systematic analysis of the observed spectra over many orders of magnitude for a variety of projectile and ...

The Isotopic Composition of Solar Energetic Particles [PDF]
Since the launch of ACE in August 1997, the Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS) has observed 11 large solar particle events in which elemental and isotopic composition was determined over a large energy range. The composition of these events has raised many

Current energetic particle sensors [PDF]
AbstractSeveral energetic particle sensors designed to make measurements in the current decade are described and their technology and capabilities discussed and demonstrated. Most of these instruments are already on orbit or approaching launch. These include the Magnetic Electron Ion Spectrometers (MagEIS) and the Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope

A Perspective on Solar Energetic Particles
The author has been fortunate to observe and participate in the rise of the field of solar energetic particles (SEPs), from the early abundance studies, to the contemporary paradigm of shock acceleration in large SEP events, and element abundance ...

Cluster pair correlation function of simple fluids: energetic connectivity criteria [PDF]
We consider the clustering of Lennard-Jones particles by using an energetic connectivity criterion proposed long ago by T.L. Hill [J. Chem. Phys. 32, 617 (1955)] for the bond between pairs of particles.

Synthesis of 3-D coronal-solar wind energetic particle acceleration modules [PDF]
1. Introduction Acute space radiation hazards pose one of the most serious risks to future human and robotic exploration. Large solar energetic particle (SEP) events are dangerous to astronauts and equipment.

The influence of nano-scale aluminum on the energetic potential of energetic materials: Theoretical and experimental observations [PDF]
Metal powders have been utilized for a long time in energetic materials to improve some specific performance. In recent years, metal particles in energetic materials have been reduced in size since smaller particles, particularly nano-sized, have highly ...

Spatial structure of the plasma sheet boundary layer at distances greater than 180 RE as derived from energetic particle measurements on GEOTAIL [PDF]
We have analyzed the onsets of energetic particle bursts detected by the ICS and STICS sensors of the EPIC instrument on board the GEOTAIL spacecraft in the deep magnetotail (i.e., at distances greater than 180 RE).
