pyrfu.mms.eis_proton_correction.eis_proton_correction(flux_eis)[source]#

Corrects proton flux values based on FPI/HPCA/EPD-EIS cross calibration. Correction to the EIS PHxTOF data are made by applying an energy-dependent numerical correction of the form:

where E is energy and \(\alpha_{PH} = -0.3\) , \(\beta_{PH} = 0.049\) , \(\gamma_{PH} = 0.001\) are coefficients. Minor adjustments were also made to the lowest energy EIS ExTOF data to correct for foil efficiencies. This correction is of the form:

where E is energy and \(\alpha_{E} = -0.3\) , \(\beta_{E} = 0.049\) , \(\gamma_{E} = 0.001\) are coefficients.

Parameters:

flux_eis (xarray.DataArray) – Omni-directional energy spectrum from EPD-EIS.

Returns:

flux_eis_corr – Cross-calibrated omni-directional energy spectrum from EIS-EPD.

Return type:
