The GOES 3 Energetic Particle Monitor (EPM) consists of number of separate silicon solid-state detectors, each having a tailored moderator thickness and a separate electronics unit for pulse amplification and pulse-height discrimination, were used to obtain particle-type/energy measurements. Seven channels measured protons in the range 1 to 500 MeV. Six channels measured alpha particles in the range 4 to 400 MeV. One channel measured electrons greater than 2.8 MeV.
