report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2021-03-23T22:02:18.40 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected
GRB 210323A (trigger ID: HEB210323918) in a routine search of the data,
which also triggered Swift/BAT (Gropp J.D. et al., GCN #29699) and
Fermi/GBM (Hamburg R. et al., GCN #29709).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single
pulse with a duration (T90) of 0.33 s measured from T0-0.03 s.
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+0.05 s, is 9821 cnts/sec.
The total counts from this burst is 1842 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited 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
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
