Primary mass identification of energetic ions and neutrals has been investigated for spacecraft applications using multiple solid state detectors of various dead zone thicknesses. The ion identification is based on comparison of the flux and energy spectrum measured between detectors using an iterative procedure. This technique permits simultaneous mass nad energy determination with large geometrical factors and at low cost. However, certain limitations exist related to statistics and resolution. Energy loss curves are presented and compared to experimental data.
