In-orbit Spectral Calibration Prospects for the COSI Space Telescope
Aravind B. Valluvan, Steven E. Boggs, Savitri Gallego +8
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager is an upcoming NASA space telescope in the MeV range. COSI's primary science goals include precisely mapping nuclear line and positron annihilat…
Characterizing, correcting, and repairing the effects of radiation damage in the COSI germanium cross-strip detectors
Steven E. Boggs, Sophia E. Haight, Sean N. Pike +5
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a gamma-ray survey telescope utilizing a compact Compton imager design, enabled by an array of 16 high-resolution germanium cross-stri…
Proton Radiation Damage and Annealing of COSI p-type Cross-strip HPGe Detectors
Sophia E. Haight, Steven E. Boggs, Gabriel Brewster +7
In order to understand the effects of a space radiation environment on cross-strip germanium detectors, we investigated the effects of high-energy proton damage on a COSI detector…
Characterizing hole trap production due to proton irradiation in germanium cross-strip detectors
Sean N. Pike, Steven E. Boggs, Gabriel Brewster +6
We present an investigation into the effects of high-energy proton damage on charge trapping in germanium cross-strip detectors, with the goal of accomplishing three important meas…
