The opening angle of AHEPaM is $\phi=20.5$\,degrees (half-angle) on both sides of the telescope (see \ac{MICD}\cite{ahepam-micd}). The solid angle described by these cones shall not be obstructed by more than 10\%.
%The field of view of both viewing directions of AHEPaM shall be only obstructed by small objects such as the spacecrafts booms in an opening angle of 20.6 degrees.
An accommodation of \ac{AHEPaM} on a sun-obscured position on the space craft is required.
This allows for an optimized thermal design without the additional mass and complexity that external radiators would introduce for a sun-exposed accommodation. The requirement is driven by the design temperature of the SSD detectors.
%The design temperature of \acs{AHEPaM}s particle detectors shall not exceed $0\,^\circ$C $\pm$ \acs{TBD}$\,^\circ$C.\\
%This requirement can be achieved by an adequate thermal design which bases on a mutual understanding between the prime and the instrument team regarding the detailed environmental thermal constraints. Most likely a certain combination of external radiators and op-/ non-op heating power will be required.\\
