- ERNE
-
- PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR:
- J. Torsti, University of Turku, Finland
-
- INSTRUMENT
-
- Particle detector covering highest energies. The sensitivity of the ERNE sensors is high enough to detect even weak
- solar energetic particle events and low-level particle fluxes originating outside our solar system.
-
- The ERNE instrument consists of two detector telescopes, LED (Low Energy Detector) suitable for particles of solar
- origin and HED (High Energy Detector) targeted for higher energies of large solar eruptions and the everpresent
- galactic cosmic radiation background.
-
- ERNE Sensor Unit (ESU) has two energetic particle sensors: LED and HED.Further, all analog and digital electronics
- as well as the data processing unit (ESU-DPU) of these sensors are within this unit.
