DAMPE with geomagne;c cutoff on CRE spectrum using 2.15B events collected from Jan2016 to Feb 2017.
with predicted one by back tracing, we found DAMPE’s absolute energy scale is higher by 1.0125±0.0175(stat) ±0.0134(sys) in ~13GeV range.

– It’s difficult to directly es;mate the uncertainty caused by IGRF – We can use Fermi-LAT result to assess uncertainty level, since Fermi-LAT and DAMPE are two independent experiment.
