Direct reading of charge multipliers with a self-triggering CMOS analog chip with 105k pixels at 50 micron pitch
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, M. Minuti +10
We report on a large active area (15x15mm2), high channel density (470 pixels/mm2), self-triggering CMOS analog chip that we have developed as pixelized charge collecting electrode…

Gas Pixel Detectors for X-ray Polarimetry applications
R. Bellazzini, F. Angelini, L. Baldini +16
We discuss a new class of Micro Pattern Gas Detectors, the Gas Pixel Detector (GPD), in which a complete integration between the gas amplification structure and the read-out electr…

Opening a New Window to Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics: X-ray Polarimetry
E. Costa, R. Bellazzini, P. Soffitta +25
An extensive theoretical literature predicts that X-ray Polarimetry can directly determine relevant physical and geometrical parameters of astrophysical sources, and discriminate b…
