Abstract

The solar wind (SW) concentrator, a key instrument onboard the Genesis mission, was designed to provide larger fluences of implanted SW for precise isotope analyses of oxygen and nitrogen [1]. SW ions in the mass range 4–28 amu were accelerated and focused on a “concentrator target” by an electrostatic mirror. This concentration process caused some instrumental mass fractionation of the implanted SW ions as function of the radial position on the target. Correction of this fractionation will be based on a combination of the measured radial fractionation of Ne isotopes with results of simulations of the implantation process using the actual performance of the concentrator and the SW conditions during exposure. Here we present He and Ne abundance and Ne isotopic composition data along one arm of the gold cross that framed the 4 concentrator subtargets.
