The silicon-strip tracker of the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) consists of two double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSDs) which provide incident particle tracking information. The low-noise analog ASIC VA140 was used in this study for DSSD signal readout. A beam test on the DSSD module was performed at the Beijing Test Beam Facility of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) using a 400~800 MeV/c proton beam. The pedestal analysis results, RMSE noise, gain correction, and intensity distribution of incident particles of the DSSD module are presented.

The China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) will investigate ionomagnetospheric disturbance and will monitor the temporal stability of the inner Van Allen radiation belts. In particular the mission aims at confirming the existences of a temporal correlation between the occurrence of earthquakes and the observation of electromagnetic disturbances, plasma fluctuations and anomalous fluxes of high-energy particles precipitating from the inner Van Allen belt in space. The high energy detector of High Energy Particle Package (HEPP-H) is a payload of CSES and is designed for detecting electrons (2-50MeV) and proton in earth 500km orbit. CSES has been launched in the February of 2018. In this paper, the instrumentation and development of the HEPP-H calorimeter is described. The calibration with beam particles (electrons and proton) is discussed in detail.
