What Does HENA Stand For?

HENA stands for High Energy Neutral Atom

HENA, or High Energy Neutral Atom, refers to atoms that have been accelerated to high velocities without acquiring an electrical charge. These atoms are often produced in high-energy physics experiments and are used to study various phenomena, including plasma interactions, cosmic radiation, and space weather. HENA measurements provide valuable insights into the energy distribution and composition of neutral particles, enhancing our understanding of fundamental physical processes in both laboratory and astrophysical settings.
