摘要: 低能离子和低能电子探头作为嫦娥七号探测器着陆器月表环境探测系统的组成单机, 主要用于开展月表低能带电粒子就位探测, 为揭示太阳风与月表的相互作用与耦合机制, 研究月表空间环境微观结构的形成机理提供关键背景数据, 并为月球科研站的空间环境评估及保障提供科学支撑. 低能粒子和低能电子探头采用相同的传感器设计方案, 利用半球形静电分析器与非对称式静电偏转板实现对月表低能带电粒子的大视场和宽能量范围探测, 利用可变几何因子功能实现大通量动态范围. 采用地面标准等离子体束源对两台探头的性能进行了详细定标. 定标结果显示, 低能离子低能电子探头可实现0.001~30 keV能量范围的等离子体探测, 能量分辨率优于15%, 通量探测范围可覆盖7个数量级, 探测视场为90°×360°, 角度分辨率优于15°×22.5°, 所有技术指标均满足任务要求.Abstract: The Low-Energy Ion Analyzer (LEIA) and Low-Energy Electron Analyzer (LEEA), integral components of the Chang’E-7 (CE-7) lander’s lunar surface environment detection system, conduct in-situ measurements of low-energy charged particles (0.001~30 keV) to elucidate solar wind-regolith interaction mechanisms, investigate microstructure evolution in the lunar near-surface plasma environment, and support space-environment assessment for future lunar research stations. Employing identical hemispherical electrostatic analyzers with asymmetric electrostatic deflectors, both analyzers achieve wide-field detection (90° × 360° FOV), broad energy coverage, and voltage-controlled variable geometric factors. Ground calibration using standard plasma beam sources confirmed compliance with mission requirements: energy resolution <15% (ΔE/E), dynamic flux range spanning seven orders of magnitude, and angular resolution <15° × 22.5°, collectively enabling comprehensive characterization of lunar surface plasma phenomena.
