Plasduino: an inexpensive, general purpose data acquisition framework for educational experiments
L. Baldini, C. Sgrò, E. Andreoni +9
Based on the Arduino development platform, Plasduino is an open-source data acquisition framework specifically designed for educational physics experiments. The source code, schema…
XIPE: the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Xavier Barcons, Ronaldo Bellazzini +96
X-ray polarimetry, sometimes alone, and sometimes coupled to spectral and temporal variability measurements and to imaging, allows a wealth of physical phenomena in astrophysics to…
Imaging with the invisible light
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, A. Brez +12
We describe a UV photo-detector with single photon(electron) counting and imaging capability. It is based on a CsI photocathode, a GEM charge multiplier and a self triggering CMOS…
A Sealed Gas Pixel Detector for X-ray Astronomy
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, M. Minuti +13
We report on the results of a new, sealed, Gas Pixel Detector. The very compact design and the absence of the gas flow system, make this detector substantially ready for use as foc…
POLARIX: a small mission of x-ray polarimetry
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Paolo Soffitta +24
X-Ray Polarimetry can be now performed by using a Micro Pattern Gas Chamber in the focus of a telescope. It requires large area optics for most important scientific targets. But si…
An X-ray polarimeter for hard X-ray optics
Fabio Muleri, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Enrico Costa +23
Development of multi-layer optics makes feasible the use of X-ray telescope at energy up to 60-80 keV: in this paper we discuss the extension of photoelectric polarimeter based on…
