Data-Based Modeling of MMS/FPI Microchannel Plate Detector Resistance Using Temperature ProxyThe Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) space physics mission studies magnetic reconnection in the Earth’s magnetosphere. This work presents the results of an analysis of the resistance of the microchannel plates (MCP) included in the particle spectrometers, which are components of the Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) aboard each MMS spacecraft. We found that a proxy for the resistance of the MCPs can be estimated from the MCP bias voltage and MCP high voltage power supply (HVPS) temperature. This estimation of MCP resistance allows for an accurate determination of nominal MCP current.
