DAMPE is a space-based mission designed as a high energy particle detector measuring cosmicrays and γ−rays which was successfully launched on Dec.17, 2015. The BGO electromagnetic calorimeter is one of the key sub-detectors of DAMPE for energy measurement of electromagnetic showers produced by e ± /γ. Due to energy loss in dead material and energy leakage outside the calorimeter, the deposited energy in BGO underestimates the primary energy of incident e ± /γ. In this paper, based on detailed MC simulations, a parameterized energy correction method using the lateral and longitudinal information of electromagnetic showers has been studied and verified with data of electron beam test at CERN. The measurements of energy linearity and resolution are significant improved by applying this correction method for electromagnetic showers.

“…The DmpEvtBgoHits class is also used to record the output Monte Carlo information of the BGO subdetector. Figure 3 shows the event classes for raw BGO calorimeter data containing dynode IDs [15], see minimum detection unit shown in Fig. 9, and ADC counts of PMTs, which are converted to hits data containing BGO bar IDs and the energy deposited in each bar.…”

A software system has been developed for the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) mission, a satellite-based experiment. The DAMPE software is mainly written in C++ and steered using Python script. This article presents an overview of the DAMPE offline software, including the major architecture design and specific implementation for simulation, calibration and reconstruction. The whole system has been successfully applied to DAMPE data analysis, based on which some results from simulation and beam test experiments are obtained and presented.
