Optimizing the light output of a plastic scintillator and SiPM based detector through optical characterization and simulation: A case study for POLAR-2
Nicolas De Angelis, Franck Cadoux, Coralie Husi +2
The combination of plastic scintillators with Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) is widely used for detecting radiation in high-energy astrophysics, particle physics, neutrino physi…
POLAR-2, the next generation of GRB polarization detector
Nicolas Produit, Merlin Kole, Xin Wu +9
The POLAR-2 Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Polarimetry mission is a follow-up to the successful POLAR mission. POLAR collected six months of data in 2016-2017 on board the Tiangong-2 Chines…
Proton irradiation of plastic scintillator bars for POLAR-2
Slawomir Mianowski, Nicolas De Angelis, Kamil Brylew +8
POLAR-2, a plastic scintillator based Compton polarimeter, is currently under development and planned for a launch to the China Space Station in 2025. It is intended to shed a new…
Temperature dependence of radiation damage annealing of Silicon Photomultipliers
Nicolas De Angelis, Merlin Kole, Franck Cadoux +9
The last decade has increasingly seen the use of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This is due to various advantages of the former on the la…
Proton Irradiation of SiPM arrays for POLAR-2
Slawomir Mianowski, Nicolas De Angelis, Johannes Hulsman +12
POLAR-2 is a space-borne polarimeter, built to investigate the polarization of Gamma-Ray Bursts and help elucidate their mechanisms. The instrument is targeted for launch in 2024 o…
Development and science perspectives of the POLAR-2 instrument: a large scale GRB polarimeter
N. De Angelis, J. M. Burgess, F. Cadoux +14
Despite several decades of multi-wavelength and multi-messenger spectral observations, Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) remain one of the big mysteries of modern astrophysics. Polarization…
