Scientific paper

An analysis is made of the background components of a charged-particle (10 eV to 15 keV) spectrometer in which energy extraction is carried out by an electrostatic analyzer, the detector used being a secondary photomultiplier. Specific attention is given to the measurement of the energy spectra of electrons and protons with the RIEP-2802M spectrometer on the Aureol-3 satellite in the ARCAD-3 program. It is shown that the spectrometer background significantly exceeded the mean value in the radiation belts, at high intensities in auroral zones, and when the electrostatic-analyzer inputs were oriented toward the sun.
