SuperAGILE是一个基于硅微带探测器的编码掩模实验。它在15-45keV的标称能量范围内工作，在超过1SR的视场内提供轴上角分辨率为6角分的交叉一维X射线天空图像。它被设计为敏捷太空任务的硬X射线监视器，敏捷太空任务是意大利航天局的一颗小卫星，致力于拍摄30 MeV-50GeV能区的伽马射线天空。敏捷任务于2007年4月23日在近地轨道上发射。本文在地面试验和标定的基础上，介绍了SuperAGILE实验的结构和测试过程，以及飞行前的性能。
SuperAGILE is a coded mask experiment based on silicon microstrip detectors. It operates in the 15–45keV nominal energy range, providing crossed one-dimensional images of the X-ray sky with an on-axis angular resolution of 6arcmin, over a field of view in excess of 1sr. It was designed as the hard X-ray monitor of the AGILE space mission, a small satellite of the Italian Space Agency devoted to image the gamma-ray sky in the 30MeV–50GeV energy band. The AGILE mission was launched in a low-earth orbit on 23rd April 2007. In this paper we describe the SuperAGILE experiment, its construction and test processes, and its performance before flight, based on the on-ground test and calibrations.
