Research on high-energy performance of GECAM satellite GRD detector

Abstract

Scientific satellites can effectively detect astronomy. Accurate ground calibration experiments are required on the detector before the satellite payload is completed. Through the X-ray energy spectrum detected by the high-purity germanium detector, the energy resolution and energy response of the energy spectrum can be studied to meet the ground calibration requirements of the gravitational wave electromagnetic counterpart all-weather monitor (GECAM satellite). This paper mainly introduces the performance study of the X-ray high-energy part of the GRD detector, and conducts preliminary calibration experiments on the energy range from 80Kev to 150Kev. The test results: the high-purity enthalpy of the standard detector and the GRD detector have good energy linearity; The energy resolution of the single-energy X-ray of the GRD detector is better than 10.2%@79.9keV, which has good monochromaticity.
