Scientific paper

The Energetic Particle Analyzer (EPA) experiment, which was part of the Giotto mission to study the environment of Halley's comet, is discussed. The EPA instrument is described and the results of the study are summarized. The particle studies discussed cover the energy range from tens of keV to the MeV region. The observation of omnidirectional particle fluxes and ion and magnetic field intensity are examined. It is suggested that there is no striking correlation between measurements of magnetic field intensity and direction and variations in the energetic-particle fluxes.
