POLAR trigger - Experimental verification

POLAR is a space-borne instrument designed for measurements of the polarization of the prompt hard X- and gamma-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB). POLAR consists of 25 identical Detection Modules equipped with Front-End Electronics (FEE) units. This paper describes: design, strategy and v...

Summary:POLAR is a space-borne instrument designed for measurements of the polarization of the prompt hard X- and gamma-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB). POLAR consists of 25 identical Detection Modules equipped with Front-End Electronics (FEE) units. This paper describes: design, strategy and verification process of the POLAR trigger mechanism.
