High Energy Telescope (HET)
Caltech, GSFC, JPL

HET also uses the solid state detector, dE/dx vs. E approach, but in a six-detector, more traditional linear arrangement designed to measure protons and helium ions to 100 MeV/nucleon, and energetic electrons to 5 MeV. HET identifies particles that stop at depths of 1 to 8 mm in the detectors. Some information will also be obtained on heavier nuclei up through Fe using the dE/dx vs E signatures and ranges together, and penetrating particles will be analyzed. HET's field of view covers a 47.5 degree cone around the Parker Spiral field direction.
