The InFOCμS Hard X-ray Telescope: Pixellated CZT Detector/Shield Performance and Flight Results
The CZT detector on the InFOCμS hard X-ray telescope is a pixellated solid-state device capable of imaging spectroscopy by measuring the position and energy of each incoming photon. The detector sits at the focal point of an 8m focal length multilayered grazing incidence X-ray mirror which has significant effective area between 20–40 keV. The detector has an energy resolution of 4.0 keV at 32 k...
متن کاملConstruction and Testing of a Pixellated CZT Detector and Shield for a Hard X-ray Astronomy Balloon Flight
We report on the construction and laboratory testing of pixellated CZT detectors mounted in a flip-chip, tiled fashion and read out by an ASIC, as required for proposed hard X-ray astronomy missions. Two 10 mm × 10 mm × 5 mm detectors were fabricated, one out of standard eV Products high-pressure Bridgman CZT and one out of IMARAD horizontal Bridgman CZT. Each was fashioned with a 4 × 4 array o...
متن کاملBalloon-borne Hard X-ray Imaging and Future Surveys
Several payloads for hard X-ray (20-600 keV) imaging with coded aperture telescopes have been developed for balloon flight observations of cosmic x-ray sources. We briefly review the characteristics of these, particularly the EXITE2 system. The recent NASA program to develop an extended long duration (100d) balloon flight capability employing super-pressure balloons would allow a qualitatively ...
متن کاملDesign and Testing of a Prototype Pixellated CZT Detector and Shield for Hard X-Ray Astronomy
We report on the design and laboratory testing of a prototype imaging CZT detector intended for balloon flight testing in April 2000. The detector tests several key techniques needed for the construction of large-area CZT arrays, as required for proposed hard X-ray astronomy missions. Two 10 mm × 10 mm × 5 mm CZT detectors, each with a 4 × 4 array of 1.9 mm pixels on a 2.5 mm pitch, will be mou...
متن کاملHigh resolution hard x-ray spectroscopy of femtosecond laser-produced plasmas with a CZT detector
We present measurement of characteristic Ka emission from Mo, Ag, and La targets irradiated by a 60 fs, 600 mJ, 10 Hz Ti:sapphire laser pulse at 10– 10 W/cm. These x-ray emissions can potentially be used in applications from laser-based hard x-ray sources to x-ray mammography so detailed knowledge of the spectra is required to assess imaging of the figure of merit. We show here that high resolv...
