AGILE卫星微型热量计的设计和建造
Design and construction of the Mini-Calorimeter of the AGILE satellite
摘要：
AGILE是意大利航天局（ASI）的一项小型空间任务，致力于伽马射线和硬X射线天体物理学，于2007年4月23日成功发射。AGILE有效载荷由三种仪器组成：基于钨硅跟踪器（ST）的伽马射线成像仪，用于在30 MeV-50 GeV的伽马射线能量范围内进行观测，基于硅的X射线探测器，SuperAGILE（SA），用于在18 keV-60 keV范围内成像的CsI（Tl）微型量热计（MCAL），用于检测在300 keV范围内的伽马射线或带电粒子能量损失。100兆电子伏。MCAL由30个CsI（Tl）闪烁体条组成，两端带有光电二极管读数，排列在两个正交层中。MCAL既可以作为ST的从站，也可以作为独立的伽马射线探测器，用于瞬变和伽马射线暴探测。本文详细介绍了MCAL及其性能。
英文摘要：
AGILE is a small space mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) devoted to gamma-ray and hard-X astrophysics, successfully launched on April 23 2007. The AGILE Payload is composed of three instruments: a gamma-ray imager based on a tungsten-silicon tracker (ST), for observations in the gamma ray energy range 30MeV - 50GeV, a Silicon based X-ray detector, SuperAGILE (SA), for imaging in the range 18keV - 60keV and a CsI(Tl) Mini-Calorimeter (MCAL) that detects gamma rays or charged particles energy loss in the range 300keV - 100MeV. MCAL is composed of 30 CsI(Tl) scintillator bars with photodiode readout at both ends, arranged in two orthogonal layers. MCAL can work both as a slave of the ST and as an independent gamma-ray detector for transients and gamma-ray bursts detection. In this paper a detailed description of MCAL is presented together with its performance.
