Focusing of gamma-rays with Laue lenses: first results
F. Frontera, G. Loffredo, A. Pisa +12
We report on the first results obtained from our development project of focusing gamma-rays (60 keV) by using Laue lenses. The first lens prototype model has been assembled and…
Design of a CZT Gamma-Camera for GRB and Fast Transient Follow-up: a Wide-Field-Monitor for the EDGE Mission
L. Natalucci, M. Feroci, E. Quadrini +14
The success of the SWIFT/BAT and INTEGRAL missions has definitely opened a new window for follow-up and deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky. This now appears as the access ke…
Development status of a Laue lens project for gamma-ray astronomy
F. Frontera, G. Loffredo, A. Pisa +17
We report the status of the HAXTEL project, devoted to perform a design study and the development of a Laue lens prototype. After a summary of the major results of the design study…
Gamma-ray lens development status for a European Gamma-Ray Imager
F. Frontera, A. Pisa, V. Carassiti +11
A breakthrough in the sensitivity level of the hard X-/gamma-ray telescopes, which today are based on detectors that view the sky through (or not) coded masks, is expected when foc…
Polarisation measurements with a CdTe pixel array detector for Laue hard X-ray focusing telescopes
Ezio Caroli, Rui M. Curado da Silva, Alessandro Pisa +4
Polarimetry is an area of high energy astrophysics which is still relatively unexplored, even though it is recognized that this type of measurement could drastically increase our k…
A focal plane detector design for a wide-band Laue-lens telescope
Ezio Caroli, Natalia Auricchio, Lorenzo Amati +8
The energy range above 60 keV is important for the study of many open problems in high energy astrophysics such as the role of Inverse Compton with respect to synchrotron or therma…
