Keppler, E. (1978). A note on the complications of the Compton-Getting effect for low energy charged particle measurements in interplanetary space. Geophysical Research Letters 5: doi: 10.1029/GL005i001p00069. issn: 0094-8276.

The response of thin window semiconductor detectors to various energetic ions is discussed. Different ions produce response at a given energy loss at different energies per nucleon. The Compton-Getting effect causes further shifts to lower and higher energy ranges dependent upon direction, hence a particular differential channel may count particles coming from quite different energy ranges in the solar wind frame. The implications of these effects are discussed.
