Scientific paper

The main purpose of the GRIF-2 solar-geophysical experiment on board the ALPHA space vehicle is the comprehensive study of the temporal and spectral characteristics of the high-energy neutral radiations (gamma-quanta, neutrons, etc.) generated in solar flares. Another important part of the experiment is the study of the dynamics of energetic charged particles (electrons, protons, etc.) in the circumterrestrial space and its correlation with solar phenomena. The complex of instruments includes a high-sensitivity oriented spectrometer of gamma-quanta and neutrons, an oriented spectrometer of X-rays and electrons with a large geometrical factor, and a spectrometer of electrons and protons with a small geometrical factor. The spectrometer of gamma-quanta and neutrons measures particle fluxes and spectra in the gamma-quantum energy range 0.1 10 MeV and the spectrometer of neutrons is used for energies over 10 MeV. The spectrometer of X-rays and electrons is intended for both the continuous control of magnetospheric electron precipitations and monitoring the X-ray solar activity in the range 10 100 keV. The spectrometer of charged particles with a small geometrical factor is intended for measurement of high-intensity charged particle fluxes in the trapped radiation zones in the Earth magnetosphere.
