Satellite-borne -ray astrophysics from coherent interactions in oriented crystals
Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Gianfranco Paternò, Alexei Sytov +20
High-density and high-Z crystals are key elements of most space-borne -ray telescopes operating at gigaelectronvolt energies (such as Fermi-LAT). The lattice structure is usual…
Beam Test Characterization of Silicon Microstrip Detector Flight-Model Ladders for the AMS-02 Upgrade
Dexing Miao, Giovanni Ambrosi, Mattia Barbanera +56
The AMS-02 experiment plans to install a new silicon microstrip tracker layer (Layer-0) on top of the existing detector, increasing the cosmic-ray acceptance by a factor of 3. Laye…
A Telescope System for Charge and Position Measurement of High Energy Nuclei
Dexing Miao, Zhiyu Xiang, Giovanni Ambrosi +43
A high-granularity telescope system with a large sensitive area and low material budget has been developed for high-energy heavy ion beam tests. The telescope consists of nine laye…
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…
A Silicon Microstrip Detector for Power-Limited and Large Sensitive Area Applications
Dexing Miao, Zijun Xu, Zhiyu Xiang +24
A silicon microstrip detector (SSD) has been developed to have state of the art spatial resolution and a large sensitive area under stringent power constraints. The design incorpor…
