Relative In-flight Response of IBEX-Lo to Interstellar Neutral Helium Atoms

Relative In-flight Response of IBEX-Lo to Interstellar Neutral Helium Atoms

The IBEX-Lo instrument on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission measures interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms. The detection of helium atoms is made through negative hydrogen (H ^− ) ions sputtered by helium atoms from the IBEX-Lo’s conversion surface. The energy spectrum of ions sput...
