资源简介:
THOR-SR (TGF and High-energy astrophysics Observatory for gamma-Rays on board the Space Rider) mission is a high-energy astrophysics pathfinder ESA PRODEX mission (PEA: 4000141332) to be launched in the Space Rider maiden flight in 2025 Q3. It was designed to explore a range of phenomena that includes gamma-ray astrophysics’ emissions, space weather and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs). The mission's scientific payload is based on CdTe detectors with a large field of view provided by a four-layer CdTe stack detector. The detector operates in the 0.1-10 MeV energy range and will be used to perform spectroscopy, imaging, time variability, and polarimetry. ID15 A provides a perfect opportunity to test THOR detector prototype performances up to 500 keV, in particular its high level of polarization (> 95%) allows unique validation of THOR instrument as a polarimeter. These tests will allow to validate, calibrate and optimise THOR payload for its Space Rider flight in 2025.
