Development of an FPGA-Based Readout System and Functional Characterization of a Custom NSX1 ASIC for X-ray instrumentation
Nabin Poudyal, Wayne Baumgartner, Sukanya Chakrabarti +6
We developed an FPGA-based readout system for a front-end ASIC (NSX1) with 64 channels to read out a large- area silicon drift detector used in X-ray detection instruments such as…
The Design and Performance Characteristics of the NRL4 ASIC Developed for the COSI Small Explorer Gamma-ray Satellite
Jarred M. Roberts, Clio Sleator, Eric Wulf +5
Next-generation gamma-ray observatories aim to enable precision measurements in high-energy astrophysics using advanced semiconductor detector technologies. Meeting the scientific…
The New Small Wheel electronics
G. Iakovidis, L. Levinson, Y. Afik +99
The increase in luminosity, and consequent higher backgrounds, of the LHC upgrades require improved rejection of fake tracks in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer. T…
The design and performance of the XL-Calibur anticoincidence shield
N. K. Iyer, M. Kiss, M. Pearce +31
The XL-Calibur balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission comprises a Compton-scattering polarimeter placed at the focal point of an X-ray mirror. The polarimeter is housed withi…
Performance of the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission during its 2018/19 Long-Duration Balloon Flight
Quincy Abarr, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Matthias Beilicke +28
X-Calibur is a balloon-borne telescope that measures the polarization of high-energy X-rays in the 15--50keV energy range. The instrument makes use of the fact that X-rays scatter…
Development of a High Rate Front-end ASIC for X-ray Spectroscopy and Diffraction Applications
Emerson Vernon, Gianluigi De Geronimo, Jonathan Baldwin +15
We developed a new front-end application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for the upgrade of the Maia x-ray microprobe. The ASIC instruments 32 configurable front-end channels th…
Front-end ASIC for Spectroscopic Readout of Virtual Frisch-Grid CZT Bar Sensors
Emerson Vernon, Gianluigi De Geronimo, Aleksey Bolotnikov +9
Compact multi-channel radiation detectors rely on low noise front-end application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to achieve high spectral resolution. Here, a new ASIC develop…
Design of the telescope truss and gondola for the balloon-borne X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Fabian Kislat, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Paul Dowkontt +13
X-ray polarimetry has seen a growing interest in recent years. Improvements in detector technology and focusing X-ray optics now enable sensitive astrophysical X-ray polarization m…
Optimization of <= 200 um pitch CZT detectors for future high-resolution X-ray instrumentation in astrophysics
Anna Zajczyk, Marie Draper, Paul Dowkontt +6
Cadmium Zinc Telluride and Cadmium Telluride are the detector materials of choice for the detection of X-rays in the X-ray energy band E >= 5keV with excellent spatial and spectral…
Design and Performance of the X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Matthias Beilicke, F. Kislat, A. Zajczyk +13
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei,…
Integrated Circuit Design in US High-Energy Physics
