Description
Based on the multi-anode photomultiplier MAPMT and readout electronic developed for the POLAR instrument on-board of the Chinese Space Lab TG2 we present a concept of the Cosmic Ray LET spectrometer. The instrument is made of scintillator detectors coupled with the MAPMT and POLAR front-end readout-out electronics. It is tuned for detection of energy depositions from the Cosmic Rays covering four orders of magnitude of the LET spectra. Distributed signal readout allows for position sensitive detections and determination of ion direction. This first feature makes it also possible to correlate the ion hit with errors induced in electronic components placed on top of the detector. Instrument dimensions and power consumption suit it well for applications on-board of cube-sats.
