The Instrument of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Ronaldo Bellazzini +78
While X-ray Spectroscopy, Timing and Imaging have improved verymuch since 1962, when the first astronomical non-solar source was discovered, especially with the launch of Newton/X-…
Design, Construction, and Test of the Gas Pixel Detectors for the IXPE Mission
L. Baldini, M. Barbanera, R. Bellazzini +91
Due to be launched in late 2021, the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer mission designed to perform polarization measurements in the 2-8 keV band, c…
Processing and characterization of epitaxial GaAs radiation detectors
X. Wu, T. Peltola, T. Arsenovich +12
GaAs devices have relatively high atomic numbers (Z=31, 33) and thus extend the X-ray absorption edge beyond that of Si (Z=14) devices. In this study, radiation detectors were proc…
Use of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) Detectors for an Advanced X-ray Monitor
R. A. Remillard, A. M. Levine, E. A. Boughan +5
We describe a concept for a NASA SMEX Mission in which Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, developed at CERN, are adapted for use in X-ray astronomy. These detectors can be us…
