Associated Platforms GEOTAIL Related Data Sets View all records related to this instrument Description The objective of the CPI investigation on Geotail is to make comprehensive observations of the three-dimensional velocity distribution functions of electrons and positive ions, with identification of ion species. The instrument contains three sets of quadrispherical analyzers with channel electron multipliers. These three obtain three-dimensional measurements for hot plasma and solar wind electrons, for solar wind ions, and for positive-ion composition measurements. The positive-ion composition measurement includes five miniature imaging mass spectrometers at the exit aperture of the analyzer, and covers
