| Research Abstract |
A new telescope consisting of three two-dimensional position-sensitive silicon detectors which can measure the linear energy transfer (LET) distibution over the range from 0.2 to 400keV/mum has been developed as a real-time radiation monitor in manned spacecraft. First, the principle of LET measurement and its design method are described. Second, suitable electronic parameters for the LET measurement are experimentally determined. Finally, the telescope performance is investigated by using relativistic heavy ions. The first-flight test of this type of telescope on the US Space Shuttle (STS-84) is scheduled for May 1997.
