Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Editors: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Takahashi, Tadayuki; Bautz, Marshall | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 9905 | First Page: | 99056I | Abstract: | A future compact and modular X and gamma-ray spectrometer (XGS) has been designed and a series of proto- types have been developed and tested. The experiment envisages the use of CsI scintillator bars read out at both ends by single-cell 25 mm<SUP>2</SUP> Silicon Drift Detectors. Digital algorithms are used to discriminate between events absorbed in the Silicon layer (lower energy X rays) and events absorbed in the scintillator crystal (higher energy X rays and -rays). The prototype characterization is shown and the modular design for future experiments with possible astrophysical applications (e.g. for the THESEUS mission proposed for the ESA M5 call) are discussed. | Conference Name: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Conference Place: | Edinburgh, UK | Conference Date: | 26 June-1 July, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24649 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1704.06122v1 https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9905/1/A-compact-and-modular-x--and-gamma-ray-detector/10.1117/12.2232597.short?SSO=1 |
