A Compact Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (CREPT) to Investigate Magnetospheric Electron Microbursts
Project Description
A Compact Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (CREPT) to Investigate Magnetospheric Electron Microbursts is a project to build a solid-state (SSD) particle telescope to characterize magnetospheric charged particle fluxes with very high time resolution.
CREPT will measure electrons and protons in multiple differential energy channels.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Development of the CREPT benefits the Heliophysics division greatly by enhancing in-house capabilities for building energetic particle instrumentation. Solid state telescopes have applications ranging from planetary magnetospheres to interplanetary space.
