  • Abstract
    A method of calculating the amplitude distribution of cosmic ray events in IR detectors utilizing known range-energy relationships for the various cosmic particles (mostly protons and helium nuclei) and published cosmic ray energy spectra is described. Good agreement is obtained between the calculated amplitude distribution and the spurious events observed in an extrinsic detector during a flight test.
