Calibration of the ComPair Balloon Instrument
Nicholas Kirschner, Zachary Metzler, Lucas D. Smith +25
ComPair, the prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) mission concept, is a combined Compton imager and pair production telescope. It consists of four s…
Background Measurements and Simulations of the ComPair Balloon Flight
Zachary Metzler, Nicholas Kirschner, Lucas Smith +31
ComPair, a prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO), completed a short-duration high-altitude balloon campaign on August 27, 2023 from Fort Sumner, New…
Development of Dual-Gain SiPM Boards for Extending the Energy Dynamic Range
Daniel Shy, Richard S. Woolf, Eric A. Wulf +5
Astronomical observations with gamma rays in the range of several hundred keV to hundreds of MeV currently represent the least explored energy range. To address this so-called MeV…
Development of a CsI Calorimeter for the Compton-Pair (ComPair) Balloon-Borne Gamma-Ray Telescope
Daniel Shy, Richard S. Woolf, Clio C. Sleator +7
There is a growing interest in astrophysics to fill in the observational gamma-ray MeV gap. We, therefore, developed a CsI:Tl calorimeter prototype as a subsystem to a balloon-base…
The Compton-Pair telescope: A prototype for a next-generation MeV -ray observatory
Janeth Valverde, Nicholas Kirschner, Zachary Metzler +31
The Compton Pair (ComPair) telescope is a prototype that aims to develop the necessary technologies for future medium energy gamma-ray missions and to design, build, and test the p…
Development of the ComPair gamma-ray telescope prototype
Daniel Shy, Carolyn Kierans, Nicolas Cannady +22
There is a growing interest in the science uniquely enabled by observations in the MeV range, particularly in light of multi-messenger astrophysics. The Compton Pair (ComPair) tele…
