Summary

Abstract: The Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) and the Solar Wind
Ion Mass Spectrometer (SWIMS) on ACE are instruments optimized for
measurements of the chemical and isotopic composition of solar and
interstellar matter. SWICS determines uniquely the chemical and
ionic-charge composition of the solar wind, the temperatures and mean
speeds of all major solar-wind ...
