Issue Date: | 2018 | Volume: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Editors: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Nikzad, Shouleh; Nakazawa, Kazuhiro | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10699 | First Page: | 106995Z | Abstract: | The ASTENA mission concept under study in the framework of the H2020 AHEAD project includes a wide field monitor and spectrometer (WFM/S), mainly dedicated to GRBs. The instrument, composed by different units, is sensitive in the range 1 keV - 20 MeV. The total isotropic detection area will be 3.0 m2 with a FOV of about 1.35 sr. The WFM will allow the detection and spectroscopic and polarimetric characterization of all classes of GRBs. Each module is a coded mask telescope that will allow the source localization within few arcmin up to 50-100 keV. The detector core is based on the coupling of low-noise, solid-state Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) with CsI(Tl) scintillator bars. Low-energy and highenergy photons are discriminated using the on-board electronics. The instrument design and preliminary experimental characterizations are reported and discussed. | Conference Name: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Conference Place: | Austin, Texas, United States | Conference Date: | 10-15 June, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27554 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10699/2314473/The-wide-field-monitor-and-spectrometer-instrument-on-board-the/10.1117/12.2314473.full?SSO=1 | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510619517 9781510619524 |
