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…
A photoelectric polarimeter for XEUS: a new window in x-ray sky
Ronaldo Bellazzini, Luca Baldini, Francesco Bitti +18
XEUS is a large area telescope aiming to rise X-ray Astronomy to the level of Optical Astronomy in terms of collecting areas. It will be based on two satellites, locked on a format…
Opening a New Window to Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics: X-ray Polarimetry
E. Costa, R. Bellazzini, P. Soffitta +25
An extensive theoretical literature predicts that X-ray Polarimetry can directly determine relevant physical and geometrical parameters of astrophysical sources, and discriminate b…
Gas Pixel Detectors for X-ray Polarimetry applications
R. Bellazzini, F. Angelini, L. Baldini +16
We discuss a new class of Micro Pattern Gas Detectors, the Gas Pixel Detector (GPD), in which a complete integration between the gas amplification structure and the read-out electr…
Reading a GEM with a VLSI pixel ASIC used as a direct charge collecting anode
R. Bellazzini, F. Angelini, L. Baldini +11
In MicroPattern Gas Detectors (MPGD) when the pixel size is below 100 micron and the number of pixels is large (above 1000) it is virtually impossible to use the conventional PCB r…
