ELS Recalibration Lin Gilbert, MSSL, 17th Nov 2010
All ELS data for the Cassini mission has been reprocessed • It now has • U3 upgrades • New calibrations The usual browse plot website has these updates http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/planetary/missions/ Cassini/cassiniplots/cassiniplots.php Username cassini Password CassELS!
Moments will need further updating • ELS background model to be updated • Extra error measures to be added Calibration files have been issued They are available on request from lkg@mssl.ucl.ac.uk
Since the recalibration there have been 8 gain tests • Plot the ELS thresholds over time to check accuracy • Gain tests come in two parts • The second part is preferred • It accumulates counts over long periods • Of the 8 tests • second part usable once (shown in purple) • first part usable 5 times (shown in red) This was due to fluctuations in the ambient plasma There is no way to improve the situation
