Pioneer 11 Charged Particle Composition (CPC) 1-Hour Count Rates
Abstract
Hourly count rates from U. Chicago Charged Particle Composition Investigation (CPC) carried on Pioneer 11. There are four rates each, for protons and alpha particles, at 11-20, 20-24, 24-29, 29-67 MeV/n. There are four additional count rates, corresponding to 7-17 MeV electrons, Z>=1 ions with E>67 MeV/n, Z>5 ions with E>67 MeV/n, and 2 x minimizing ionizing particles. The data are ftp-accessible in annual ASCII files and via FTPBrowser. The hourly averages were computed from 15-min data (counts, accumulation times, PHA-based box counts, etc.) that are also available via ftp from nssdcftp.gsfc.nasa.gov.
