Description
Penetrating particle Analyzer (PAN) is a magnetic spectrometer designed for deep space science and interplanetary missions. It can measure the energetic particles in precision, monitoring the cosmic rays physics, solar physics, space weather, etc, and spanning over more than 1 full solar cycle. The spectrometer is in a limited mass ~ 20 kg and limited power consumption ~20 W, which facilitate it as a standard on-board instrument for human space travel. The detector adopts novel particle detection technologies, including a dipole magnet sectors, which allows an energy resolution of better than 10%; a plastic scintillator based time-of-flight system read out by SiPMs with time resolution of 100 ps; a silicon pixel detector operating in low power mode while maintaining the capabilities of high rate identification; and a silicon tracker to determine particles.
