Expected Performance of CALET
Abstract
As described in a paper (S.Torii et al) of this conference, CALET is a versatile detector for exploring high energy universe by observing gamma rays (>20 MeV), electrons (>GeV) and other charged particles (>100GeV). It is planned to be on board the JEM (Japanese Experiment Module, Kibo) of the International Space Station. We study its basic performance by M.C simulations. They are: detection efficiency, energy resolution, particle identification capability (especially, distinguishability of gamma- rays, electrons and protons), angular resolution, effective solid angle, expected number of events etc.
