Scientific paper

The ISEE-C DFH experiment was designed to investigate low-energy proton behavior in the 35-1600 keV range in the interplanetary medium and magnetosphere. DFH provides three-dimensional proton flux distribution measurements with good energy resolution at a time resolution of 16 sec; thus it provides 180 independent points on the proton phase space distribution function every 16 sec. The scientific aims of the experiment include the study of solar-flare-associated proton events, energetic storm particles and shock wave 'spike' events, corotating streams, quiet time fluxes, and solar proton entry into the magnetosphere. A description of the instrument is given with emphasis on implementation and system redundancy, detector telescopes, pulse-height-analysis logic, and the data processing unit.
