CdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Orbital Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
We present the design and analysis of a new gamma ray spectrometer for planetary science that uses an array of CdZnTe detectors to achieve the detection efficiency needed for orbital measurements. The use of CdZnTe will provide significantly improved pulse height resolution relative to scintillation-based detectors, with commensurate improvement in the accuracy of elemental abundances determine...
متن کاملImaging Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Telescopes
The technique of γ-ray astronomy at very high energies (VHE:> 100 GeV) with ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is described, the H.E.S.S. array in Namibia serving as example. Mainly a discussion of the physical principles of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique is given, emphasizing its rapid development during the last decade. The present status is illustrated by two examples...
متن کاملHigh Energy Gamma Rays from Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Protons in Gamma Ray Bursts
It has recently been proposed that ultrahigh energy (∼> 10 19 eV) cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated by the blast waves associated with GRBs. We calculate the observed synchrotron spectrum from protons and energetic leptons formed in the cascades initiated by photopion production, taking into account γγ attenuation at the source. Normalizing to the emission characteristics of GRB 970508, we p...
متن کاملGamma-ray energy-imaging integrated spectral deconvolution
In conventional Compton camera systems, the image reconstruction is performed only in two-dimensional or three-dimensional spatial coordinates for a specific gamma-ray energy. By doing so, a priori knowledge of the incident gamma-ray energy is required, and usually an energy window is applied to select full energy deposition events. In some other applications, spectral-deconvolution algorithms ...
متن کاملVery high-energy gamma rays from gamma-ray bursts.
Very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy has undergone a transformation in the last few years, with telescopes of unprecedented sensitivity having greatly expanded the source catalogue. Such progress makes the detection of a gamma-ray burst at the highest energies much more likely than previously. This paper describes the facilities currently operating and their chances for detecting gamma-ra...
