Temperature dependence of radiation damage annealing of Silicon Photomultipliers
Nicolas De Angelis, Merlin Kole, Franck Cadoux +9
The last decade has increasingly seen the use of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This is due to various advantages of the former on the la…
Adding Gamma-ray Polarimetry to the Multi-Messenger Era
Merlin Kole, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Mancarella +1
The last decade has seen the emergence of two new fields within astrophysics: gamma ray polarimetry and GW astronomy. The former, which aims to measure the polarization of gamma ra…
Proton Irradiation of SiPM arrays for POLAR-2
Slawomir Mianowski, Nicolas De Angelis, Johannes Hulsman +12
POLAR-2 is a space-borne polarimeter, built to investigate the polarization of Gamma-Ray Bursts and help elucidate their mechanisms. The instrument is targeted for launch in 2024 o…
Gamma-ray Polarimetry of Transient Sources with POLAR
Merlin Kole, Jianchao Sun
Polarization measurements of the gamma-ray component of transient sources are of great scientific interest, they are however, also highly challenging. This is due to the typical lo…
Gamma-Ray Polarimetry of the Crab Pulsar Observed by POLAR
Han-Cheng Li, Nicolas Produit, Shuang-Nan Zhang +15
The X/ ray polarimetry of the Crab pulsar/nebula is believed to hold crucial information on their emission models. In the past, several missions have shown evidence of polarized…
