Scientific paper

A dust detector developed for the Galileo and Ulysses deep-space probes is described. The detection probability for particles coming from different directions is calculated with a computer simulation, showing that the maximum sensitive area of the detector is 0.1 sq m. Calibration tests are discussed, showing uncertainties of factors 1.6 for impact speed and 6 for mass. The speed dependent sensitivity threshold of the detector is also determined.
