Abstract
A space shuttle with a Prototype Synchrotron Radiation Detector (PSRD) was launched in 2001. PSRD was set in the Endeavour payloads and got data for 12 days. The purpose of PSRD is to measure synchrotron photons which are created by high energy charged particles near earth. Synchrotron photons are confused with background photons. We studied how to separate synchrotron photons from backgrounds.
