Wide band X-ray Imager (WXI) and Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) for the NeXT Mission
T. Takahashi, A. Awaki, T. Dotani +25
The NeXT mission has been proposed to study high-energy non-thermal phenomena in the universe. The high-energy response of the super mirror will enable us to perform the first sens…
Development of a Si/CdTe semiconductor Compton telescope
Takaaki Tanaka, Takefumi Mitani, Shin Watanabe +10
We are developing a Compton telescope based on high resolution Si and CdTe imaging devices in order to obtain a high sensitivity astrophysical observation in sub-MeV gamma-ray regi…
Development of Uniform CdTe Pixel Detectors Based on Caltech ASIC
K. Oonuki, H. Inoue, K. Nakazawa +6
We have developed a large CdTe pixel detector with dimensions of 23.7 x 13.0 mm and a pixel size of 448 x 448 um^2. The detector is based on recent technologies of an uniform CdTe…
Gamma-ray Polarimetry with Compton Telescope
Hiroyasu Tajima, Grzegorz Madejski, Takefumi Mitani +10
Compton telescope is a promising technology to achieve very high sensitivity in the soft gamma-ray band (0.1-10 MeV) by utilizing Compton kinematics. Compton kinematics also enable…
Performance of a Low Noise Front-end ASIC for Si/CdTe Detectors in Compton Gamma-ray Telescope
H. Tajima, T. Nakamoto, T. Tanaka +11
Compton telescopes based on semiconductor technologies are being developed to explore the gamma-ray universe in an energy band 0.1--20 MeV, which is not well covered by the present…
