Abstract

Gravitational wave burst high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) is specially designed for detecting high-energy electromagnetic counterpart that generates by the gravitational wave source. GECAM consists of two micro-satellites which make a straight line with the Earth to enlarge the field of view to all-sky. The electromagnetic radiation may distribute in a wide range from radio-wave to high-energy γ-Rays. A novel gamma-ray detector which is made up of the 3 in. LaBr₃ crystal and the large area SiPM to detect rays from 6 keV to 2000 keV. The detector performances, include dynamic range, linear response, energy-resolution and uniformity, will be discussed in this paper.
