Broad-band High-Energy Resolution Hard X-ray Spectroscopy using Transition Edge Sensors at SPring-8

Shinya Yamada, Yuto Ichinohe, Hideyuki Tatsuno +40

We have succeeded in operating a transition-edge sensor (TES) spectrometer and evaluating its performance at the SPring-8 synchrotron X-ray light source. The TES spectrometer consi…

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…
