AGILESim: Monte Carlo simulation of the AGILE gamma-ray telescope
V. Fioretti, A. Bulgarelli, M. Tavani +12
The accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations in reproducing the scientific performance of space telescopes (e.g. angular resolution) is mandatory for a correct design of the mission. A…
An X-Ray Burst from a Magnetar Enlightening the Mechanism of Fast Radio Bursts
M. Tavani, C. Casentini, A. Ursi +60
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (millisecond) radio pulses originating from enigmatic sources at extragalactic distances so far lacking a detection in other energy bands. Magnet…
Beam test characterisation of a Plastic Scintillator Prototype for the space-based cosmic ray experiment HERD
P. W. Cattaneo, M. Pullia, M. C. Prata +2
The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detector (HERD) facility is planned to go onboard China's Space Station, planned to be operational starting in around 2025 for about 10 years. The…
Timing resolution of a plastic scintillator counter read out by radiation damaged SiPMs connected in series
G. Boca, P. W. Cattaneo, M. De Gerone +8
This paper discusses the effects of radiation damage to SiPMs on the performances of plastic scintillator counters with series-connected SiPM readout, focusing on timing measuremen…
Search for lepton flavour violating muon decay mediated by a new light particle in the MEG experiment
A. M. Baldini, F. Berg, M. Biasotti +68
We present the first direct search for lepton flavour violating muon decay mediated by a new light particle X, . This search uses…
Gamma-Ray and X-Ray Observations of the Periodic-Repeater FRB 180916 During Active Phases
M. Tavani, F. Verrecchia, C. Casentini +33
FRB 180916 is a most intriguing source at 150 Mpc distance capable of producing repeating fast radio bursts with a periodic 16.35 day temporal pattern. We report on the X-ray and $…
