title: THE BPD ENERGETIC PARTICLE DETECTOR AS PART OF THE SOLAR X-RAY PHOTOMETER ChemiX FOR THE “INTERHELIOPROBE” INTERPLANETARY MISSION
abstract: The Background Particle Detector (BPD) is an important block of the Polish-Ukrainian X-ray spectrophotometer ChemiX under development for the “Interhelioprobe” interplanetary mission. The BPD primary objective is to detect incoming charged particle fluxes, measure particle energy spectra and safeguard the instrument in case of emergency. The present work describes the BPD laboratory prototype and current results of adjustment and measurements of its important characteristics, in particular the a
