Extension of the Space Experiment GRIS Onboard the ISS Capabilities: Registration of Short Gamma-ray Bursts and TGF

Abstract

The unique capabilities of the detector, based on the CeBr3 crystal (very short flashing time) allow us to expand the range of problems solved in the GRIS experiment. In addition to registering solar flares that have characteristic times per second÷minute, this detector allows solving problems in identifying and recording characteristics of geophysical and astrophysical events (short gamma-ray bursts - SGRB and terrestial gamma-ray flares - TGF) in the time range of 10μs÷1 ms. The modification of the hardware of the GRIS device for solving these problems is described and discussed in this paper.
