Imaging Polarimeter for a Sub-MeV Gamma-Ray All-Sky Survey using an Electron-Tracking Compton Camera
Shotaro Komura, Atsushi Takada, Yoshitaka Mizumura +17
X-ray and gamma-ray polarimetry is a promising tool to study the geometry and the magnetic configuration of various celestial objects, such as binary black holes or gamma-ray burst…
Development of wide-field low-energy X-ray imaging detectors for HiZ-GUNDAM
Kazuki Yoshida, Daisuke Yonetoku, Tatsuya Sawano +9
We are planning a future gamma-ray burst (GRB) mission HiZ-GUNDAM to probe the early universe beyond the redshift of z > 7. Now we are developing a small prototype model of wide-fi…
New readout and data-acquisition system in an electron-tracking Compton camera for MeV gamma-ray astronomy (SMILE-II)
Tetsuya Mizumoto, Yoshihiro Matsuoka, Yoshitaka Mizumura +17
For MeV gamma-ray astronomy, we have developed an electron-tracking Compton camera (ETCC) as a MeV gamma-ray telescope capable of rejecting the radiation background and attaining t…
An Electron-Tracking Compton Telescope for a Survey of the Deep Universe by MeV gamma-rays
T. Tanimori, H. Kubo, A. Takada +17
Photon imaging for MeV gammas has serious difficulties due to huge backgrounds and unclearness in images, which are originated from incompleteness in determining the physical param…
Performance of a new electron-tracking Compton camera under intense radiations from a water target irradiated with a proton beam
Yoshihiro Matsuoka, T. Tanimori, H. Kubo +16
We have developed an electron-tracking Compton camera (ETCC) for use in next-generation MeV gamma ray telescopes. An ETCC consists of a gaseous time projection chamber (TPC) and pi…
High-z gamma-ray bursts for unraveling the dark ages mission HiZ-GUNDAM
Daisuke Yonetoku, Tatehiro Mihara, Tatsuya Sawano +28
We are now investigating and studying a small satellite mission HiZ-GUNDAM for future observation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The mission concept is to probe "the end of dark ages…
Development of a 30 cm-cube Electron-Tracking Compton Camera for the SMILE-II Experiment
Y. Mizumura, T. Tanimori, H. Kubo +16
To explore the sub-MeV/MeV gamma-ray window for astronomy, we have developed the Electron-Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC), and carried out the first performance test at room conditi…
