About POLAR
POLAR is a novel compact space-borne detector conceived for a precise measurement of hard X-ray polarization and optimized for the detection of the prompt emission of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) photons in the energy range 50keV-500 keV. POLAR is an international collaboration project involving China, Switzerland, France and Poland, and is expected to be launched into the space around 2016 onboard the Chinese space laboratory Tiangong-2 (TG-2) With the support of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. More information about POLAR, please see: polar.ihep.ac.cn.
About this project
This project was started at Sep 19, 2015 after I came to IHEP and proposed to do the decoding of the raw data produced from POLAR detector and all the latter related science analysis. C++ is the main language and the ROOT library is used. The raw data will be transformed and stored to .root files. Monte Carlo simulation using Geant4 will also be included into this project because the data analysis is very dependent on the result of simulation.
This project is now under developing ...
