GEHRELS(2), and E. C. STONE(1) 1 California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, U.S.A 2 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, U.S.A. Abstract. The Heavy Ion Counter on the Galileo spacecraft will monitor energetic heavy nuclei of the elements from C to Ni, with energies from ~6 to ~200 MeV nucl^-1. The instrument will provide measurements of trapped heavy ions in the Jovian magnetosphere, including those high-energy heavy ions with the potential for affecting the operation of the spacecraft electronic circuitry. We describe the instrument, which is a modified version of the Voyager CRS instrument. 1. Introduction The Heavy Ion Counter (HIC) is included on the Galileo spacecraft primarily for the purpose of monitoring the fluxes of energetic heavy ions in the inner Jovian magnetosphere and high-energy solar particles in the outer magnetosphere in order to characterize the ionizing radiation to which electronic circuitry is most sensitive. The measurements performed will also be of scientific interest, since the instrument's large geometry factors and extended energy range will provide spectral information for ions from 6C to 28Ni with energies of ~6 to > ~200 MeV nucl**-1. In this article we will concentrate on Jovian magnetospheric science. We review here previous scientific results concerning trapped high-energy heavy ions, describe anticipated new findings with Galileo, and provide a brief instrument description. 2. Previous Results During the Voyager encounters with Jupiter, it was discovered [KRIMIGISETAL1979A], [KRIMIGISETAL1979B], [VOGTETAL1979A], [VOGTETAL1979B] that a major component of the trapped radiation in the inner Jovian magnetosphere is energetic heavy ions. The dominant heavy species inside ~ 10 R[J] in the MeV nucl**-1 energy range were found to be oxygen and sulfur, with sodium also present. The abundances in the inner magnetosphere indicate that the source of the ions is the surface or atmosphere of Io. The phase space density of the energetic oxygen and sulfur ions has positive radial gradient (i.e., increasing outward) in the inner magnetosphere [GEHRELSETAL1981], implying that the diffusive flow at these energies is inward. On the other hand, the density of the oxygen- and sulfur-rich plasma in the inner magnetosphere is highest at the Io plasma torus and decreases outward [SISCOEETAL1981]. Barbosa et al. [BARBOSAETAL1984] have proposed that charge exchange in the plasma torus produces fast neutrals which escape to the outer magnetosphere where ~ 0.2% are re-ionized by solar ultraviolet or electron impact and recaptured Some of the newly created ions are subsequently energized by stochastic acceleration caused by magneto- hydrodynamic waves, producing ions with large magnetic moments that adiabatically diffuse inward, some attaining energies in excess of 30 MeV nucl**-1 in the inner magnetosphere. As the energetic ions flow inward, they are lost from the magnetosphere, presumably by pitch-angle scattering of the mirroring particles into the loss cone (see, e.g., [THORNE1982]). The strength of this loss mechanism determines the rate at which the heavy ions precipitate into the Jovian atmosphere, exciting ultraviolet and X-ray auroral emissions. At the time of the Voyager encounter in March 1979, it appeared losses due to pitch-angle scattering were occurring at nearly the maximum rate, resulting in the precipitation of ~ 10**24 ions s**-1 above ~70 MeV nucl**-1 G**-1, with an extrapolation down to 10 MeV nucl**-1 G**-1 suggesting the possibility of a loss rate of ~10**26 ions s**-1 and an auroral power of ~10**13 W [GEHRELS&STONE1983]. Major losses are occurring in the magnetic moment (energy) range appropriate to HIC where the total inward flow rate of oxygen ions with magnetic moments greater than several thresholds is given as a function of radial distance (L) from Jupiter. The number of inflowing ions first decreases inside 15 R[J] and falls off sharply inside 10 R[J]. Only a small fraction of the trapped particles survive to produce the trapped radiation at 5 R[J]. As a result, changes in the rate of pitch-angle scattering can result in significant changes in the flux of particles reaching 5 R[J]. It is therefore important to better characterize not only the flux at 5 R[J], but also the nature and any long-term variability in the loss mechanism operative outside of 5 R[J]. 3. Anticipated New Results The HIC instrument should provide new information on the spectra of heavy ions at higher energies than previously possible. Fluxes at these energies are based on extrapolations of spectra measured at lower energies and as a result are very uncertain. Measurements with the HIC instrument will significantly reduce the uncertainty in the high-energy fluxes. The energy of a 3070 MeV nucl**-1 G oxygen ion is within the HIC energy range into 5 R[J]. The geometry factor for E > 20 MeV nucl**-1 oxygen ions (inside 8.5 R[J] for 3070 MeV nucl**-1 G**-1 ions) is ~4 cm**2 sr compared with 0.88 cm**2 sr for the Voyager CRS instrument. More importantly, the livetime for measuring oxygen and sulfur ions with E >= 50 MeV nucl**-1 will be essentially 100% because a polling priority system (see instrument description section) will discriminate against the large fluxes of protons and electrons that dominate the CRS analysis rate. As a result, a flux of only 10**-5 cm**-2 s**-1 sr**-1 should produce 1 analyzed event in 10 hours, the time that Galileo is inside 7 R[J]. The oxygen ions which have >= 100 MeV nucl**-1 at 5 R[J] have >= 10 MeV nucl**-1 at 10 R[J]. Thus, as Galileo makes repeated orbital passes in the vicinity of Europa, it will be possible to monitor the fluxes of particles with M >= 3000 MeV nucl**-1 G**-1 throughout the mission. Such long term information is especially important, since there are a number of reasons why the fluxes might vary. For example, the flux of high-energy ions could be measurably affected by changes in the density of the Io plasma torus which is the source of the escaping neutral atoms and by changes in the solar ultraviolet which re-ionizes the neutrals in the outer magnetosphere. The HIC instrument will measure any time dependence of the energetic heavy ion fluxes and permit correlative studies of any associated changes in auroral emissions or diffusion processes. The fluxes at 5 R[J] depend strongly on the loss processes occurring inside of ~15 R[J]. It is postulated that the losses are due to pitch-angle scattering of the mirroring particles into the loss cone, and that the rate of scattering is close to the strong pitch-angle diffusion limit in the inner magnetosphere ([THORNE1982], [GEHRELS&STONE1983]). At this limit there is sufficient pitch-angle scattering to refill the loss cone as rapidly as particle precipitation empties it, resulting in a nearly isotropic pitch-angle distribution. Since the HIC detectors will view nearly perpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis, essentially complete coverage of the pitch-angle distribution will be possible. Investigation of any time dependence of the loss process will also be possible as Galileo repeatedly passes through the radial range between 15 and 10 R[J] where the radial profiles indicate that significant losses occur. 4. Instrument Description The Galileo Heavy Ion Counter (HIC) consists of two solid-state detector telescopes called Low Energy Telescopes or LETs. Use of these two telescopes over three energy intervals provides the geometry factor and energy range necessary to determine the fluxes of the heavy, penetrating radiation to which solid state memories are most sensitive. Heavy collimation and high discrimination thresholds on all detectors provide the necessary immunity to accidental coincidences from the large proton background. Three-parameter analysis provides additional rejection of background. Two separate telescopes are included in order to cover a wide energy range while minimizing pulse pile-up through the optimum selection of detector and window thicknesses. The LET E is optimized for the detection of nuclei with energies as high as 200 MeV nucl^-1, requiring thicker detectors. Thick windows protect this system from low-energy proton pile-up, but also exclude lower energy oxygen and sulfur nuclei. The second telescope, LET B, has a substantially thinner window so that it can detect lower energy nuclei (down to ~ 6 MeV nucl^-1), especially in the outer magnetosphere. The properties of the two telescopes are indicated in Table I and discussed below. TABLE I Nominal LET parameters ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Detector Radius Thickness Threshold (cm) (micro-meter) (MeV) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LB1 0.95 32.1 0.3 LB2 0.95 29.6 0.4 LB3 1.13 421 3.7 LB4 1.13 440 2.0 LE1 0.95 30.4 9.3(1.4)**a LE2 0.95 33.4 2.0(0.3)**a LE3 1.13 463 25(5.0)**a LE4,5 1.66 ~2000 117(23)**a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **a High gain. In the LETB telescope ions which penetrate LB1 and LB2 and stop in the thicker LB3 detector are analyzed. Detector LB4 is used in anti-coincidence. (If desired, the command system can be used to allow analysis for ions which penetrate LB1 and stop in LB2, or for ions which stop in LB1 . Also detector LB4 can be turned off.) Lighter nuclei (especially hydrogen and helium) are rejected by 'slant' discrimination with a weighted sum of the signals from the front three detectors, SLB = LB1 + 0.42 LB2 + 0.2 LB3 required to be above about 9.6 MeV. The thin window (25 micro-meter Kapton) serves for thermal control and for protection from sunlight. All detectors are surface- barrier type. An important feature is the use of keyhole detectors for LB1 and LB2, which define the event geometry. The active area of these detectors excludes the nonuniform edge of the silicon wafer through the use of keyhole- shaped masks during the deposition of the Au and Al contacts. This telescope is an improved version of the Voyager CRS LETs (Stone et al., 1977) which have demonstrated charge (Z) resolution of 0.1 charge units at oxygen under solar flare conditions (Cook et al., 1980) and 0.2 charge units at ~ 5 R[J], Voyager 1's deepest penetration of the Jovian magnetosphere [GEHRELS1982]. Additional collimation and the thicker window decrease the HIC LET's response to background protons in the Jovian magneto- sphere. The flux of protons in detector L1, for example, should be reduced by at least a factor of 10 from that observed on Voyager 1. In order to measure the flux of heavy nuclei at higher energies, LE4 and LE5 are each 2000-micro-meter lithium-drifted detectors. The front detectors, LE1, LE2, and LE3, are identical to their LET B counterparts, providing spectral continuity and overlap. The collimator housing is relatively thick to provide background immunity and has a large opening angle to provide a large geometrical factor. The windows are 76 micro-meter Kapton and 254 micro-meter Al. As in LET B, low charge (low Z) events are recognized and rejected by a slant discriminator, SB = LE1 + 0.5 LE2 + 0.1 LE3 + 0.04(LE4 + LE5), where SB must exceed 9.6 MeV to allow analysis. For intermediate energies, a narrow-angle geometry is defined by LE1 and LE2 for particles stopping in either LE2 or LE3. For the highest energies, where the fluxes are exceedingly small, measurements are made with the wide- angle geometry defined by LE2, LE3, LE4, and the collimator. LE1 is not required but its discriminator is recorded as a tag bit. LE5 distinguishes stopping and penetrating events. The maximum energy observed is determined by the LE2 discriminator threshold. This maximum is ~185 MeV nucl**-1 for oxygen as noted in Table II. To allow detection of penetrating galactic cosmic-ray nuclei at higher energies in the outer magnetosphere, the LET E pre-amplifier gains can be increased by a factor of 5 to 7 by command. With the exception of spacecraft interface circuitry, all of the electronics were originally part of the Proof Test Model of the Voyager Cosmic-Ray Science Instrument (CRS), and additional detail may be found in Stone et al. [STONEETAL1977] and Stilwell et al. [STILWELLETAL1979]. With the adjustment of amplifier gains and discriminator thresholds and the incorporation of thicker detectors, collimators, and windows, it has been possible to develop an instrument which is optimized for the measurement of high-energy heavy ions trapped in the Jovian magnetosphere. Minor modifications to the logic allow the instrument to recognize events of the various types mentioned above, which are summarized in Table II. Event data are stored in buffers which are read according to a polling scheme which prevents domination of the telemetry by any one type of event. The buffer polling logic cycles through the five buffers listed in Table II, reading out one each minor frame (2/3 s) and stepping to the next non-zero buffer on the subsequent minor frame. If a particular type of event occurs less than 0.3 times per second (i.e., is rare) then all of that type will be transmitted regardless of activity in other event types. If a particular type of event occurs more often than 0.3 times per second, it will be readout at least 0.3 times per second and more of ten if the other event buffers are empty. Telemetry of counting rates and pulse height analyzed events is rapid compared to the nominal 3 rpm spin rate of the spacecraft; thus pitch-angle distributions of the trapped radiation can be measured. Both telescopes have their axes oriented near the spin plane for this purpose. The time resolution of the HIC is in the range from 2/3 to 2 s, implying an angular resolution in the range from 12 deg. to 36 deg., which is to be compared to the telescope opening angles of 25 deg. in narrow geometry mode and 46 deg. in wide geometry mode. Many of the functions of the coincidence logic and the buffering/readout scheme can be modified by command to optimize the instrument for changing environments or partial failures. As noted above, commands can also be used to change gain on the LET E pre-amplifiers.

At the end of the collection period, another portion of the program compresses the data into their output format. The output (before packet headers are added) consists of up to 375 bytes of binary data in two blocks. A dump of simulated data is attached as Appendix A. For details about packet headers, see MOS-GLL-3-310 [ECR35559], Flight Software Requirements, Appendix, p. 5-47; and 625-610: SIS 2244-05 P2, Instrument Packet File [SIS2244-05]. The present description is of the HIC data only. The first block, of 143 bytes, contains rate data arranged in a predetermined format. There are 57 rate ''words'' of 2 1/2 bytes each, and 1/2 byte of filler (0x0) at block's end. The first byte of each rate word is a counter of the number of times that rate was read out. The rest of the word (1 1/2 bytes) gives the sum of the rate counts from those readouts, in log-compressed form. The compression scheme is the same as that in the SRD. Several types of rate are subdivided, i.e., have more than one rate word in the output block. Each successive rate word within a type represents data taken in a later portion of the collection period. The 57 rate words appear in the following order: 10 words of DUBL (''A'' rates, for ten successive time divisions) 6 words of TRPL (''B'' rates, for six successive time divisions) 6 words of WDSTP (''C'' rates, for six successive time divisions) 6 words of WDPEN (''D'' rates, for six successive time divisions) 10 words of LETB (''E'' rates, for ten successive time divisions) 6 words of LE1 (''G'' rates, for six successive time divisions) 1 word of LE5 (''F'' rates, MUXN=10) 1 word of LE3 (''F'' rates, MUXN=11) 1 word of LE4 (''F'' rates, MUXN=12) 1 word of LE2 (''F'' rates, MUXN=13) 6 words of LB1 (''H'' rates, MUXN=10, for six successive time divisions) 1 word of LB2 (''H'' rates, MUXN=11) 1 word of LB3 (''H'' rates, MUXN=12) 1 word of LB4 (''H'' rates, MUXN=13) (Slant data, from ''F'' and ''H'' rates with MUXN<10 or MUXN>13, are discarded.) Thus for the longest collection period (50 RIM), we can distinguish ~5-min changes in the DUBL and LET B rates and ~9-min changes in the five rates that have six divisions each. At higher data rates (collection periods of 25 RIM or 10 RIM), the time resolution is proportionally better. The second block, of up to 232 bytes, contains event data arranged in a flexible format. The contents of this block can vary considerably depending on the number and kind of events that were observed. Events have no time divisions. The events are divided into fourteen types and kept, during the collection period, in fourteen different arrays. Each collection array can hold up to 20 or 32 events, depending on type. The array numbers determine the order in which events are output. Event types are distinguished in the output block not by absolute position (as are the rates) but by header words. Each string of event information begins with a one-byte header. The first half- byte contains the event array number, i.e., the type. The second half-byte is a counter that gives the number of events in the string for that type, less one; i.e., counter = counts - 1. If no events were observed for a given type, no string is output. Each event type has a characteristic word length, so the header also gives the length of the event string. Each type also has a characteristic meaning assigned to each bit in its word. For details, see Appendix B. After all the output events comes an event counter array, which consists of a leading 'f' followed by six numbers of 1 1/2 bytes each. These show the total number of events counted in the collection period for each of six kinds of event: DUBL, TRPL, WDSTP, WDPEN, LETB, and null (tag word = 0). The fourteen event types are distributed among the five non-null kinds as follows: DUBL, type 9; TRPL, types 5 and 12; WDSTP, types 1, 6, 13, and 14; WDPEN, types 7 and 8; and LETB, types 2, 3, 4, 10, and 11. Counts in this array include ''caution'' events, those whose caution bit in the tag word is set. When rates are very low, all observed events are output and the event block is very short. When rates are very high, details of some events will be lost because of the limited size of the output block: 232 bytes will hold only about 60 events plus the counters. If the event arrays are quite full, the program outputs sixteen events from each type, starting with number one, until it has no more room. For this situation, only events of types 1-5 will be output in detail; the rest will be lost, as in the Appendix A dump. Since the program outputs the first sixteen events of each type, events from the beginning of the collection period are favored ever more heavily as rates climb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Appendix A: hex dump of output block for sparse events (event block short) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bar = first rate counter of each series, or event type's header. x = filler nybble (always 0x0) octal data* address __ 0000000 8880 8988 1897 8179 8818 9881 8978 1798 8189 8818 __ 0000024 9781 7988 18ed 7edf d7fd fd7f dfd7 fdfd 7fdf c7fc __ __ 0000050 ed73 1fd7 3dfd 73df d73d fd73 dfc7 3ded 76df d77d __ 0000074 fd77 dfd7 7dfd 77df c77c 8872 a977 3c98 73e9 873e __ 0000120 9773 c987 3e98 73e9 773c 9873 e987 3eed 6b1f d6bd __ __ __ ___ 0000144 fd6b dfd6 bdfd 6bdf c6bd 5e76 b5e6 815d 68b5 d697 __ __ ___ 0000170 0f85 20f8 5210 8601 0860 1086 0108 605e 6b05 d6ba __ x__ __ 0000214 5d6c 5012 ab9b 9c65 ab9b 9c65 ab9b 9c65 525c 66d5 __ 0000240 4e5c 66d5 4e5c 66d5 4e62 9cfc f652 9cfc f652 9cfc __ x__ x 0000264 f652 72fc a9af ca9a fca9 a082 bcab 5bca b5bc ab50 __ __ 0000310 924c 24c2 f0fb 794c 24c2 f0fb 794c 24c2 f0fb 79c2 __ 0000334 3185 a89d 3185 a89d 3185 a89d d217 2670 ca17 2670 __ _ 0000360 ca17 2670 cae2 19c3 d8a5 19c3 d8a5 19c3 d8a5 f003 x 0000404 0060 0c00 6001 17b0 * From Octal Address 0000 to 0216 rate data are provided.
