Description

The Zirè experiment on-board the NUSES space mission, is an experiment design to measure charged particles and light nuclei from few up to hundreds of MeVs, for the study of low energy cosmic rays, space weather phenomena and possible Magnetosphere-Litosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (MILC) signals. A further goal of the experiment is to test new tools for the detection of photons in the energy range of 0.1 MeV - 30 MeV, allowing the investigation of transient phenomena like GRBs. A high density segmented calorimeter exploiting scintillator crystals and a SiPM-based readout system will serve this purpose along with the other goal of calorimetric energy mesurement of the CR charged particles. In this work, we discuss the functionality of the calorimeter as a GRB monitor.
