Description:
The paper describes an ISEE experiment designed to study interplanetary and solar electrons in the energy range between solar wind and galactic cosmic rays. The instrumentation is designed to identify and measure electron fluxes with high energy resolution and high sensitivity from approximately 2 keV to 1 MeV. Angular distributions of these electrons will also be obtained; in addition, energetic ions above 50 keV will be measured. Measurements of particle acceleration in solar flares, solar radio emission, interplanetary particles and shock wave acceleration, and low energy electron propagation are discussed. The instrumentation is described with emphasis on the semiconductor telescopes, the electrostatic analyzer, and the electronics.
