摘要
The major scientific goals of the DArk Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE)are to study cosmicray electrons(including positrons)and gamma rays from 5 GeV to 10 TeV and nuclei from Z=1 to 26 up to 100 TeV.The deposited energy measured by the Bismuth Germanate Oxide(BGO)calorimeter of DAMPE is affected by fluorescence attenuation in BGO crystals that are 600 mm long.In this work,an in-orbit attenuation calibration method is reported,and energy correction of the sensitive detector unit of the BGO calorimeter is also presented.
