X-Ray Polarimetry with the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR)
Henric S. Krawczynski, Daniel Stern, Fiona A. Harrison +49
This paper describes the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR), a mission proposed to NASA's 2014 Small Explorer (SMEX) announcement of opportunity. PolSTAR measures…
Optimization of <= 200 um pitch CZT detectors for future high-resolution X-ray instrumentation in astrophysics
Anna Zajczyk, Marie Draper, Paul Dowkontt +6
Cadmium Zinc Telluride and Cadmium Telluride are the detector materials of choice for the detection of X-rays in the X-ray energy band E >= 5keV with excellent spatial and spectral…
Design and Performance of the X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Matthias Beilicke, F. Kislat, A. Zajczyk +13
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei,…
An Unfolding Method for X-ray Spectro-Polarimetry
Fabian Kislat, Matthias Beilicke, Qingzhen Guo +2
X-ray polarimetry has great scientific potential and new experiments, such as X-Calibur, PoGOLite, XIPE, and GEMS, will not only be orders of magnitude more sensitive than previous…
Charge Sharing Effect on 600 μm Pitch Pixelated CZT Detector for Imaging Applications
Yongzhi Yin, Qi Liu, Dapeng Xu +1
We are currently investigating the spatial resolution of highly pixelated Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detector for imaging applications. A 20 mm {\times} 20 mm {\times} 5 mm CZT s…
Optimization of the Design of the Hard X-ray Polarimeter X-Calibur
Qingzhen Guo, Matthias Beilicke, Alfred Garson +3
We report on the optimization of the hard X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur for a high-altitude balloon-flight in the focal plane of the InFOCμS X-ray telescope from Fort Sumner (NM) in…
The Hard X-ray Polarimeter X-Calibur - Design and Tests
M. Beilicke, W. R. Binns, J. Buckley +17
X-ray polarimetry promises to give new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray…
Design and tests of the hard X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
M. Beilicke, M. G. Baring, S. Barthelmy +17
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei,…
Design of a Hard X-ray Polarimeter: X-Calibur
Qingzhen Guo, Alfred Garson, Matthias Beilicke +3
We report on Monte Carlo studies of the hard X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur. The polarimeter will be used in the focal plane of a grazing incidence hard X-ray telescope. It combines a…
