Development of the ComPair gamma-ray telescope prototype
Daniel Shy, Carolyn Kierans, Nicolas Cannady +22
There is a growing interest in the science uniquely enabled by observations in the MeV range, particularly in light of multi-messenger astrophysics. The Compton Pair (ComPair) tele…
A Roadmap For Scientific Ballooning 2020-2030
Peter Gorham, James Anderson, Pietro Bernasconi +8
From 2018 to 2020, the Scientific Balloon Roadmap Program Analysis Group (Balloon Roadmap PAG) served as an community-based, interdisciplinary forum for soliciting and coordinating…
AstroPix: Novel monolithic active pixel silicon sensors for future gamma-ray telescopes
Amanda L. Steinhebel, Henrike Fleischhack, Nicolas Striebig +10
Space-based gamma-ray telescopes such as the Fermi Large Area Telescope have used single sided silicon strip detectors to track secondary charged particles produced by primary gamm…
Compton Telescopes for Gamma-ray Astrophysics
Carolyn Kierans, Tadayuki Takahashi, Gottfried Kanbach
Compton telescopes rely on the dominant interaction mechanism in the MeV gamma-ray energy range: Compton scattering. By precisely recording the position and energy of multiple Comp…
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) Mission Concept
Regina Caputo, Marco Ajello, Carolyn Kierans +52
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) is designed to identify and characterize gamma rays from extreme explosions and accelerators. The main science th…
Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors on CMOS technologies
Nicole Apadula, Whitney Armstrong, James Brau +37
Collider detectors have taken advantage of the resolution and accuracy of silicon detectors for at least four decades. Future colliders will need large areas of silicon sensors for…
