Design of a mission to measure the shape and substructure of the 511 keV gamma-ray line from the center of the Milky Way

Kun Hu, Matthew Fritts, Daniel Becker +23

The 511 keV electron-positron annihilation feature near the galactic center has been detected for more than half a century, yet its origin remains a mystery. In this paper, we desc…
