Science with the new generation high energy gamma- ray experiments
M. Alvarez, D. D'Armiento, G. Agnetta +197
This Conference is the fifth of a series of Workshops on High Energy Gamma- ray Experiments, following the Conferences held in Perugia 2003, Bari 2004, Cividale del Friuli 2005, El…
SuperAGILE: the hard X-ray Imager for the AGILE space mission
M. Feroci, E. Costa, P. Soffitta +15
SuperAGILE is a coded mask experiment based on silicon microstrip detectors. It operates in the 15-45 keV nominal energy range, providing crossed one-dimensional images of the X-ra…
Scientific performances of the XAA1.2 front-end chip for silicon microstrip detectors
E. Del Monte, P. Soffitta, E. Morelli +12
The XAA1.2 is a custom ASIC chip for silicon microstrip detectors adapted by Ideas for the SuperAGILE instrument on board the AGILE space mission. The chip is equipped with 128 inp…
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…
X-ray Astronomical Polarimetry in the XEUS Era
E. Costa, P. Soffitta, G. Di Persio +9
X-ray Polarimetry is almost as old as X-ray Astronomy. Since the first discovery of X-ray sources theoretical analysis suggested that a high degree of linear polarization could be…
