Scientific paper

New aspects which have been achieved in designing a charged particle dE/dx - E telescope to be flown on the upcoming International Solar Polar Mission are described. The instrument is designed to measure and resolve masses up to iron at energies above 100 keV per nucleon. New solutions for the overall system design and specific components are a result of the weight restrictions and radiation damage considerations. These achievements will be described. Besides radiation-resistant amplifiers, a new analog-OR, a new sample-and-hold circuit, and an extremely low power threshold discriminator have been developed. Power strobing of a fast ADC completes the newly designed aspects of a classical measuring technique.
