spase://SMWG/Instrument/LANL/1989/ESP

Description

Higher-energy particles have been measured since 1989 using the Energy Spectrometer for Particles (ESP). The ESP is a bismuth germanate crystal coupled to a thick plastic scintillator that is coupled to a photomultiplier tube [4]. The ESP instrument can measure the spectrum of electrons from 0.7 to 26 MeV and of protons from 11 to >20 MeV.
