摘要:

POLAR探测器是一个空间基伽马射线暴(GRB)偏振计,具有宽视场,几乎覆盖了半个天空。该仪器利用伽马射线在塑料闪烁体上的康普顿散射来测量入射光子的偏振。该仪器已于2016年9月15日在中国空间实验室天宫二号上成功发射。本文介绍了仪器各组成部分的结构。详细介绍了施工阶段遇到的问题及其解决办法。该仪器在轨的初始性能与地面试验和蒙特卡罗模拟的预期一致。

英文摘要:

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 rays on a plastic scintillator hodoscope to measure the polarization of the incoming photons. The instrument has been successfully launched on board of the Chinese space laboratory Tiangong~2 on September 15, 2016. The construction of the instrument components is described in this article. Details are provided on problems encountered during the construction phase and their solutions. Initial performance of the instrument in orbit is as expected from ground tests and Monte Carlo simulation.
