Design and preliminary performance study of the broad-band spectrometer detector for POLAR-2
Jian-Chao Sun, Jiang He, Shuang-Nan Zhang +46
POLAR-2, the successor of the POLAR experiment aboard China's Tiangong-2 space lab, is set to be deployed on the China Space Station. The POLAR-2 mission aims to conducting high-pr…
POLAR-2, the next generation of GRB polarization detector
Nicolas Produit, Merlin Kole, Xin Wu +9
The POLAR-2 Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Polarimetry mission is a follow-up to the successful POLAR mission. POLAR collected six months of data in 2016-2017 on board the Tiangong-2 Chines…
Temperature dependence of radiation damage annealing of Silicon Photomultipliers
Nicolas De Angelis, Merlin Kole, Franck Cadoux +9
The last decade has increasingly seen the use of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This is due to various advantages of the former on the la…
The POLAR Gamma-Ray Burst Polarization Catalog
Merlin Kole, Nicolas De Angelis, Francesco Berlato +18
Despite over 50 years of research, many open questions remain about the origin and nature of GRBs. Polarization measurements of the prompt emission of these extreme phenomena have…
Detailed polarization measurements of the prompt emission of five Gamma-Ray Bursts
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Merlin Kole, Tian-Wei Bao +37
Gamma-ray bursts are the strongest explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang, believed to be produced either in forming black holes at the end of massive star evolution or merg…
In-Orbit Instrument Performance Study and Calibration for POLAR Polarization Measurements
Zhengheng Li, Merlin Kole, Jianchao Sun +30
POLAR is a compact space-borne detector designed to perform reliable measurements of the polarization for transient sources like Gamma-Ray Bursts in the energy range 50-500keV. The…
