Definition phase study of the grand tour missionsThe research to define an energetic particle experiment for the OPTGT-MJS missions is reported. The studies reported include: (1) the use of silicon dectectors for low energy, low flux level measurements in the presence of RTG radiation and trapped electrons, (2) high energy proton damage of lithium-drifted and surface barrier silicon detectors, (3) the gas Cerenkov counter, (4) systems for detection of trapped high-energy protons in the presence of trapped electrons, and (5) reliability and redundancy.
