Abstract
We have developed an energetic particle spectrometer called a standard dose monitor (SDOM) that can discriminate and analyze the energy of electrons, protons, and alphas. SDOMs unique characteristics include a large G-factor, a wide energy range, and the ability to simultaneously identify and analyze the energy of multiple particle types. We plan to use this instrument to update current space radiation environment models
