POLAR-2 -- Latest Developments of the Next Generation GRB Polarimeter
Johannes Hulsman, Philipp Azzarello, Joerg Bayer +20
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic events in the Universe. Despite over 50 years of research and measurements their prompt emission remains poorly understood, wit…
Design and Performance of a Universal SiPM Readout System for X- and Gamma-Ray Missions
Merlin Kole, Nicolas De Angelis, Nicolas Produit +15
The advent of both multi-messenger and time-domain astrophysics over the last decade has seen a large interest in the development of small-scale, cheap, and robust gamma-ray detect…
Response of the first POLAR-2 Prototype to Polarized Beams
Merlin Kole, Nicolas de Angelis, Ana Bacelj +15
POLAR-2 is a dedicated gamma-ray polarimeter currently foreseen to be launched towards the China Space Station around 2027. The design of the detector is based on the legacy of its…
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…
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…
