Burst Working Group Review of GBM Algorithms

These files provide background information for the review of the GBM trigger and calibration.

Trigger Algorithms (Word :: PDF):
This is a summary of the on-board burst trigger, classification and localization algorithms. Capabilities are compared to requirements and goals for field of view, trigger sensitivity, and localization accuracy. A description of the on-board gain control is also included.
GBM_Cal_Plan (Word :: PDF):
This is the Calibration Plan document. It addresses all pre-launch detector calibrations.
SIM_SYSSPECrev2 (Word :: PDF):
These are two formats of the functional specifications for the simulation and detector response software.
band_david_1-rev.1 (PS :: PDF):
gbm_trade_studies (PDF):
GBM_trigger_SF (PPT :: PDF):
These present work done by David Band on the sensitivity of the GBM as a function of time and energy binning.
