Abstract

The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility has been proposed as a space astronomy payload onboard the future China’s Space Station (CSS) aimed to detect charged cosmic-rays and gamma-rays from few GeV to PeV energies. The main science objectives of HERD are searching for dark matter particles, the study of cosmic ray chemical composition and high energy gamma-ray observations. HERDwill extend high precision and high statistics spectral measurements of individual cosmic ray species up to few PeV, reaching the knee of the all-particle spectrum. It will also observe the gamma-ray sky from a few hundred of MeV up to 1 TeV contributing to multi-messenger astronomy together with ground-based high energy gamma-ray telescope and neutrino and gravitational waves detectors.
中国空间站上的高能宇宙辐射探测(HERD)设施:寻找高能宇宙射线
高能宇宙辐射探测(HERD)设施已被提议作为未来中国空间站(CSS)上的空间天文学有效载荷,旨在探测从几GeV到PeV能量的带电宇宙射线和伽马射线。HERD的主要科学目标是寻找暗物质粒子,研究宇宙射线的化学成分和高能伽马射线的观测。herd将把对单个宇宙射线的高精度和高统计光谱测量扩展到几PeV,达到全粒子光谱的极限。它还将观测几百MeV到1 TeV的伽玛射线天空,与地面高能伽玛射线望远镜、中微子和引力波探测器一起,为多信使天文学做出贡献。
