   ocr: ERNE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGAIOR: J.Torsti, University of Turku, Finland INSTRUMENT Particle detector covering highest energies. The sensitivity of the ERNE sensors is high enough to detect even weak solar energetic particle events and low-level particle fluxes originating outside our solar system. The ERNE instrument consists of two detector telescopes, LED (Low Energy Detector) suitable for particles of solar origin and HED (High Energy Detector) targeted for higher energies of large solar eruptions and the everpresent galactic cosmic radiation background. ERNE Sensor Unit (ESU) has two energetic ...
