Le principe de l'ionisation électronique consiste à accélérer des électrons émis par un filament chauffé. Ceux-ci rentrent en collision avec les molécules. Si l'énergie cinétique fournie aux électrons est importante, quelques dizaines d'eV [électronvolts], alors un électron est arraché à la molécule au cours de la collision et un ion positif est formé. 1, record 1, French, - ionisation%20%C3%A9lectronique

Standard In Situ Impact Detector(DEBIE).... The detector will actively monitor sub-millimeter sized particles which impact the detector surfaces. The instrument will consist of a central processing unit and up to 4 separate sensor units which can be placed on different spacecraft surfaces. DEBIE will use a combination of impact ionisation, momentum and foil penetration detection. 2, record 3, English, - standard%20in%2Dsitu%20impact%20detector
