It is one of the many measurement instruments onboard IMP 8. The combined data sets generated by CPME and EPE (Energetic Particle Experiment) have been used to address a wide range of scientific problems. These include studies of energetic particle activity in and around the Earth's magnetosphere, solar nergetic particle events, solar X-rays, shock accelerated ions and electrons in the interplanetary medium and near Earth's bow shock, iron group ions in high speed solar wind streams, the intensity gradients of galactic cosmic rays, and dynamical chaos in the magnetosphere.
