report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2018-12-01T02:39:53.000 (T0), the Insight-HXMT/HE detected
GRB 181201A (trigger ID: HEB181201111) in a routine search of the data,
which was also triggered by INTEGRAL (S. Mereghetti et al.,GCN 23469);
Fermi/LAT (M. Arimoto et al., GCN23480).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of Single
pulse with a duration (T90) of 15.18 s measured from T0+1.56 s.
The 1-s peak rate, measured from T0+5.28 s, is 13844.5 cnts/s.
The total counts from this burst is 88444.0 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy).
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside
of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was
fundedjointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
