Calibration of the Gamma-RAy Polarimeter Experiment (GRAPE) at a Polarized Hard X-Ray Beam
P. F. Bloser, J. S. Legere, M. L. McConnell +4
The Gamma-RAy Polarimeter Experiment (GRAPE) is a concept for an astronomical hard X-ray Compton polarimeter operating in the 50 - 500 keV energy band. The instrument has been opti…
GRAPE - A Balloon-Borne Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment
P. F. Bloser, J. S. Legere, J. R. Macri +3
This paper reviews the development status of GRAPE (the Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment), a hard X-ray Compton Polarimeter. The purpose of GRAPE is to measure the polarization of…
CASTER - a concept for a Black Hole Finder Probe based on the use of new scintillator technologies
Mark L. McConnell, Peter F. Bloser, Gary Case +13
The primary scientific mission of the Black Hole Finder Probe (BHFP), part of the NASA Beyond Einstein program, is to survey the local Universe for black holes over a wide range of…
Developing a Compton Polarimeter to Measure Polarization of Hard X-Rays in the 50-300 keV Energy Range
J. S. Legere, P. Bloser, J. R. Macri +3
This paper discusses the latest progress in the development of GRAPE (Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment), a hard X-ray Compton Polarimeter. The purpose of GRAPE is to measure the po…
The Development of Coplanar CZT Detectors for Gamma-Ray Astronomy
M. L. McConnell, L. A. Hamel, J. R. Macri +2
The development of CdZnTe detectors with an orthogpnal coplanar anode structure has important implications for future astrophysical instrumentation. As electron-only devices, like…
Instrumented Water Tanks can Improve Air Shower Detector Sensitivity
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
Previous works have shown that water Cherenkov detectors have superior sensitivity to those of scintillation counters as applied to detecting extensive air showers (EAS). This is i…
