ComPair-2: A Next Generation Medium Energy Gamma-ray Telescope Prototype
Regina Caputo, Carolyn Kierans, Nicholas Cannady +30
Many questions posed in the Astro2020 Decadal survey in both the New Messengers and New Physics and the Cosmic Ecosystems science themes require a gamma-ray mission with capabiliti…
The 2023 Balloon Flight of the ComPair Instrument
Lucas D. Smith, Nicholas Cannady, Regina Caputo +29
The ComPair balloon instrument is a prototype gamma-ray telescope that aims to further develop technology for observing the gamma-ray sky in the MeV regime. ComPair combines four d…
Development of the cadmium zinc TElluride Radiation Imager (TERI)
Daniel Shy, Michael Streicher, Douglas M. Groves +13
The cadmium zinc TElluride Radiation Imager, or TERI, is an instrument to space qualify large-volume pixelated CdZnTe (CZT) detector technol…
Exploring Large-Volume GAGG Scintillators for use in MeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
Daniel Shy, Richard Woolf, Bernard Phlips +2
Gamma-ray astrophysics in the MeV band is an exciting field in astronomy due to its potential for multi-messenger astrophysics. It has, however, remained under-explored when compar…
Results from the CsI Calorimeter onboard the 2023 ComPair Balloon Flight
Daniel Shy, Richard S. Woolf, Clio Sleator +33
The ComPair gamma-ray telescope is a technology demonstrator for a future gamma-ray telescope called the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO). The instrument is comp…
