摘      要：Precisely measuring the energy spectra of cosmic-rays is vital to constrain the cosmic-ray production mechanism[1]and their propagation in the stellar medium[2].DArk Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE)[3]is a high-resolution multi-purpose device for detecting cosmic-rays including electrons,γ-rays,protons and heavy ions in an energy range of a few GeV to 100 *** has been launched on December 17th,2015 and operates on a sun-synchronous orbit at the altitude of 500 *** consists of four sub-detectors:a Plastic Scintillator Detector(PSD),a Silicon-Tungsten Tracker(STK),a Bismuth Germanate Oxid Calorimeter(BGO)and a NeUtron Detector(NUD).
