2013年极化Gamma-ray观察者(PoGOLite)的探路者飞行

Pathfinder flight of the Polarized Gamma-ray Observer (PoGOLite) in 2013

摘要:

偏振伽马射线观测器(PoGOLite)是一种球载仪器,可以测量能量范围为25- 240 keV的偏振。该仪器采用了一个阵列的井型“phoswich”探测器,以抑制背景。基于极化γ射线产生的康普顿散射角的各向异性,可以重建所观察到的源的极化。2013年7月12日至26日,从瑞典Esrange到俄罗斯诺里尔斯克成功进行了一次近环极探路飞行。在为期两周的飞行中,对螃蟹进行了多次观察。在这里,我们介绍了PoGOLite仪器并总结了2013年的飞行。

英文摘要:

The Polarized Gamma-ray Observer (PoGOLite) is a balloon-borne instrument that can measure polarization in the energy range 25--240 keV. The instrument adopts an array of well-type "phoswich" detectors in order to suppress backgrounds. Based on the anisotropy of Compton scattering angles resulting from polarized gamma-rays, the polarization of the observed source can be reconstructed. During July 12-26 of 2013, a successful near-circumpolar pathfinder flight was conducted from Esrange, Sweden, to Norilsk, Russia. During this two-week flight, several observations of the Crab were conducted. Here, we present the PoGOLite instrument and summarize the 2013 flight.
