Gamma Large Area Silicon Telescope ( GLAST ) : Applying Silicon Strip Detector technology to the Detection of Gamma Rays in Space
The recent discoveries and excitement generated by space satillite experiment EGRET (presently operating on Compton Gamma Ray Observatory CGRO) have prompted an investigation into modem detector technologies for the next generation space based gamma ray telescopes. The GLAST proposal is based on silicon strip detectors as the “technology of choice” for space application: no consumables, no gas ...
متن کاملThe Agile Gamma-ray Detector
The gamma-ray detector AGILE, operating in the energy range from 30 MeV to 50 GeV, is composed by a tracking part, a light calorimeter and an anticoincidence system. Here we describe the detector and its capabilities to determine the arrival direction and energy of the detected photons. The AGILE design is derived from a refined study of the GILDA project (Barbiellini et al. 1995, Morselli et a...
متن کاملA versatile, PC-based gamma ray monitor.
This paper describes a new computer-based gamma ray monitor for laboratory and field measurements. The monitor consists of a universal peripheral device, and GM counter gamma ray probe, connected via USB to the PC. The peripheral device is generic; in addition to the GM probe, it accepts sensors for spectrometric measurements as well as sensors for the measurement of other environmental paramet...
متن کاملGamma-ray imaging with coaxial HPGe detector
We report on the first experimental demonstration of Compton imaging of gamma rays with a single coaxial high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. This imaging capability is realized by two-dimensional segmentation of the outside contact in combination with digital pulse-shape analysis, which enables to image gamma rays in 4p without employing a collimator. We are able to demonstrate the ability t...
متن کاملThe silicon tracker / converter for the gamma - ray large area space telescope
The Silicon Tracker/Converter of the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) will have an active area of 80 m2, representing one of the largest planned applications of the silicon-strip detector technology. The large number of channels (1.3 million) to read out, together with the requirement that the tracker provide the trigger to the data acquisition, force the readout electronics to be o...
