Proton Flux Unit ON 31 AGU 2015
Measure of Proton emission from the Sun following a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) or Solar Flare. High levels are dangerous and may cause failure of satellites due to surface charging. Proton fluxes are integral 5-minute averages for energies >10 MeV, given in Particle Flux Units (pfu),solar energetic proton events by TONYNETONE The dose (in Gy) as a function of particle flux and energy deposited by the particle was also determined. Predictions of their possible effects on space system please reade more on this link http://www.researchgate.net/publication/225274325_Determination_of_the_stopping_power_and_failure_time_of_spacecraft_components_due_to_proton_interaction_using_GOES11_acquisition_data Article Determination of the stopping power and failure time of spacecraft components due to proton interaction using GOES11 acquisition data
