Overview
PRCINI integrates the electrostatic analyzer (ESA) from the Cassini/Charge-Energy-Mass-Spectrometer (CHEMS) instrument into a modified version of the Parker Solar Probe/Energetic Particle Instrument (EPI)-Lo sensor, resulting in a combined suprathermal and energetic ion instrument that measures energy, angular distribution, and compositional distributions from ~1 keV to ≳15 MeV, as well as ion charge-state composition from ~15 (protons) to ~220 keV/q, over co-planar fields-of-view.
