Design and construction of the POLAR detector

N. Produit, T. W. Bao, T. Batsch +35

The POLAR detector is a space based Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) polarimeter with a wide field of view, which covers almost half the sky. The instrument uses Compton scattering of gamma r…

Gain factor and parameter settings optimization of the new gamma-ray burst polarimeter POLAR

X. F. Zhang, W. Hajdas, H. L. Xiao +38

As a space-borne detector POLAR is designed to conduct hard X-ray polarization measurements of gamma-ray bursts on the statistically significant sample of events and with an unprec…

Calibration of Gamma-ray Burst Polarimeter POLAR

H. L. Xiao, W. Hajdas, T. W. Bao +33

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the universe which might be associated with creation of black holes. Magnetic field structure and burst dynamics may influen…
