Interplanetary variability in particle fluxes recorded by the low energy charged particle detector LION (40 keV-6 MeV) on the SOHO spacecraft during its cruise phase to the L1 point
The LION instrument on SOHO and its scientific objectives, Ann
Abstract. A technical description is presented of the lowenergy ion and electron (LION) instrument on the SOHO spacecraft and its scientific goals are discussed. LION forms part of the comprehensive suprathermal and energetic particle analyzer (COSTEP), which is, in turn, a subset of the COSTEP/ERNE particle analyser collaboration (CEPAC).
