Calibration of the ComPair Balloon Instrument
Nicholas Kirschner, Zachary Metzler, Lucas D. Smith +25
ComPair, the prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) mission concept, is a combined Compton imager and pair production telescope. It consists of four s…
Background Measurements and Simulations of the ComPair Balloon Flight
Zachary Metzler, Nicholas Kirschner, Lucas Smith +31
ComPair, a prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO), completed a short-duration high-altitude balloon campaign on August 27, 2023 from Fort Sumner, New…
Irradiated Pulsar Planets and Companions as 511 keV Positron Annihilation Line Sources
Zachary Metzler, Zorawar Wadiasingh
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are prolific GeV emitters, and nearly 80\% of Fermi-LAT MSPs reside in compact binaries. We demonstrate that the companions in these compa…
AstroPix: A Pixelated HVCMOS Sensor for Space-Based Gamma-Ray Measurement
Amanda L. Steinhebel, Regina Caputo, Daniel P. Violette +33
A next-generation medium-energy gamma-ray telescope targeting the MeV range would address open questions in astrophysics regarding how extreme conditions accelerate cosmic-ray part…
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…
A-STEP: The AstroPix Sounding Rocket Technology Demonstration Payload
Daniel P. Violette, Amanda Steinhebel, Abhradeep Roy +21
A next-generation medium-energy (100 keV to 100 MeV) gamma-ray observatory will greatly enhance the identification and characterization of multimessenger sources in the coming deca…
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…
The Anti-Coincidence Detector Subsystem for ComPair
Zachary Metzler, Nicholas Cannady, Daniel Shy +3
ComPair is a prototype gamma-ray telescope for the development of key technologies for next-generation gamma-ray detectors consisting of four subsystems: a 10-layer double-sided si…
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…
Magnetic field effects on neutrino oscillations
Andrea Erdas, Zachary Metzler
Using the exact propagators in a constant magnetic field, the neutrino self-energy has been calculated to all orders in the field strength within the minimal extension of the W…
