Assessment of Jupiter's trapped radiation by pioneerThe experiments planned for Pioneers F and G during their Jupiter flybys are discussed. The complement includes four energetic charged particle experiments: University of Iowa package consisting of Geiger-Mueller tubes; University of California, San Diego, trapped radiation package consisting of solid state detectors, thin scintillators, and an alcohol water Cerenkov radiator; University of Chicago package containing charged particle detectors; and a Goddard Space Flight Center package containing solid state, cosmic ray detectors. Other experiments are the Jet Propulsion Laboratory magnetometer and the Ames Research Center plasma analyzer. Pitch angle distributions at Jupiter, and the capabilities for unambiguous identification of energetic protons at Jupiter are also discussed.
