Abstract

Abstract

This paper introduces a designing scheme of a medium energetic ion detector based on SEE TOF×E method, including key components such as secondary electron emission foils, electrodes, position sensitive MCP detector, and SSDs, which can simultaneously achieve both 5-directional medium energetic ions and 4-directional medium energetic electrons measurements. Based on the hardware time resolution and energy resolution limits that can be achieved by the current space-based particle detection payload, this paper presents a simulation analysis of the energy range and ion species resolution of the design scheme. The results show that this design scheme can achieve ion spectrum measurement in the energy range of 40 keV to 5 MeV, and electron spectrum measurement from 20 to 500 keV as well. And it can also perform ion component resolution for proton at 40 keV to 5 MeV, He ions at 45 keV to 5 MeV, O ions at 130 keV to 5 MeV, and Fe ions at 240 keV to 5 MeV.
