摘要：

The anticoincidence lateral shields of the high-energy ((15÷200) keV) detector PDS aboard the SAX satellite will be used to detect celestial gamma-ray bursts. As a gamma-ray burst monitor (GRBM), the shields have a 5σ sensitivity in the (60÷600) keV nominal energy band about 10-6 erg/cm2, and a capability of determining the burst location to an accuracy of a few tenths of degree to several degrees, depending on burst direction and strength. The GRBM will be mainly devoted to study the burst time profile with a time resolution down to 0.5 ms. Its expected performances are evaluated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. © 1990 Società Italiana di Fisica.
