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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
