Solar Orbiter Energetic Particle Detector: Early Results and Science Data Center

Solar Orbiter was launched in February 2020 carrying the most complete set of in-situ and remote sensing instruments, for the study of the Sun and the heliosphere. The Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) on board of Solar Orbiter was switched on on 28 February 2020 and, since then, it has provided us with measurements of the energetic particles traveling through the inner heliosphere. The EPD suite is composed of a set of different sensors measuring electrons, protons and ions in a wide range of energies.The Electron-Proton Telescope (EPT) was designed to measure electrons and ions with energies of 35-4000keV and 45-7000keV respectively. By utilizing the so-called magnet/foil-technique, EPT is capable of measuring energetic particles with a high temporal and energy resolution while obtaining directional information from its four different fields of view. Although EPT is well suited for the study of solar energetic particle events, instrumental effects such as the contamination of EPT data products by GCR particles need to be understood for a correct interpretation of the data.We will present our current understanding of the background and calibration of EPT based on the data gathered during the first year of Solar Orbiter&#8217;s mission.

Increasing Demand

Computational science, data management and analysis have been key factors in the success of Brookhaven National Laboratory’s scientific programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), and in biological, atmospheric, and energy systems science, Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) and Materials Science, as well as our participation in international research collaborations, such as the ATLAS experiment at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Belle II experiment at KEK (Japan). The construction of a new data center is an acknowledgement of the increasing demand for computing and storage services at BNL.

Inner Heliosphere

In this presentation, we will show the first measurements performed by EPD since the end of the commissioning phase until the latest results obtained. During these months EPD has been scanning the inner heliosphere at different heliocentric distances and heliolongitues allowing - together with other spacecraft - to investigate the&#160;spatio-temporal behavior of the particle populations in the inner&#160;heliosphere during solar minimum conditions. Solar Orbiter was launched from Cape Canaveral on February 10th, 2020, thus beginning the journey to its encounter with the Sun. Solar Orbiter carries ten scientific instruments, six remote sensing and four in situ, that will allow the mission main goal: how the Sun creates and controls the heliosphere. Among the in situ instruments, the Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) measures electrons, protons and heavy ions with high temporal resolution over a wide energy range, from suprathermal energies up to several hundreds of MeV/nucleon.
