The Solar Energetic Particle Ionic Charge Analyzer (SEPICA) is the main instrument on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE)
to determine the ionic charge states of solar and interplanetary energetic particles in the energy range from ≈0.2 MeV nucl−1
to ≈5 MeV charge−1. The charge state of energetic ions contains key information to unravel source temperatures, acceleration,
fractionation and transport processes for these particle populations. SEPICA will have the ability to resolve individual charge
states and have a substantially larger geometric factor than its predecessor ULEZEQ on ISEE-1 and -3, on which SEPICA is based.
To achieve these two requirements at the same time, SEPICA is composed of one high-charge resolution sensor section and two
low- charge resolution, but large geometric factor sections. The charge resolution is achieved by the focusing of the incoming
ions, through a multi-slit mechanical collimator, deflection in an electrostatic analyzer with a voltage up to 30 kV, and
measurement of the impact position in the detector system. To determine the nuclear charge (element) and energy of the incoming
ions, the combination of thin-window flow-through proportional counters with isobutane as counter gas and ion-implanted solid
state detectors provide for 3 independent ΔE (energy loss) versus E (residual energy) telescopes. The multi-wire proportional
counter simultaneously determines the energy loss ΔE and the impact position of the ions. Suppression of background from penetrating
cosmic radiation is provided by an anti-coincidence system with a CsI scintillator and Si-photodiodes. The data are compressed
and formatted in a data processing unit (S3DPU) that also handles the commanding and various automatted functions of the instrument.
The S3DPU is shared with the Solar Wind Ion Charge Spectrometer (SWICS) and the Solar Wind Ion Mass Spectrometer (SWIMS) and
thus provides the same services for three of the ACE instruments. It has evolved out of a long family of data processing units
for particle spectrometers.
