Scientific paper
The Air Force Research Laboratory developed the Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) to broadly characterize the space radiation environment and issue real-time warning flags. CEASE includes a particle telescope (two stacked solid state detectors) that provides several electron channels with threshold energies from 50 keV to 700 keV, and two dosimeters that respond to >1 and >3 MeV electrons. The first CEASE to fly was launched on the USAF Space Test Program TSX-5 spacecraft on 7 June 2000 into a 410 km by 1750 km, 69 degree inclination orbit. The mission was initially manifest for a 1-year flight, but was extended to October 2002, yielding a database with over 2 years of data. An extensive Monte Carlo simulation of the instrument response function (complementing the pre-launch laboratory calibration results) has recently been completed, thus enabling the determination of energy spectra. Mission survey plots for various channels will be presented to highlight a number of magnetic storm periods. Select storm intervals will be examined in greater detail, with spectral fits from roughly 100 keV to 1 MeV presented as a function of time for various L ranges.
