Title: | Performance of the IBIS Compton mode | Authors: | SEGRETO, ALBERTO | Issue Date: | 2004 | Volume: | UV and Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Systems | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 5488 | First Page: | 738 | Abstract: | The IBIS instrument launched on board the ESA INTEGRAL observatory on October 2002 is a coded mask telescope composed by two position sensitive detection planes, one with 16384 Cadmium Telluride pixels (ISGRI) and the other with 4096 Caesium Iodide pixels (PICsIT). Events detected in coincidence in the two detector layers are flagged as generated by Compton scattered photons and can be then processed and filtered using the Compton kinematic equations. The analysis of these data is, however, quite complex, mainly due to the presence of a great number of fake events generated by random coincidences between uncorrelated ISGRI and PICsIT events; if this component is not subtracted with great accuracy, false source detections can be produced. In this work, we present the performance (spectral and imaging) obtainable from the IBIS Compton data, by analyzing ground calibration acquisitions. We also analyze the IBIS Compton flight data relative to the Crab observation, to determine its scientific capabilities. | Conference Name: | UV and Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Systems | Conference Place: | Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom | Conference Date: | 21-25 June, 2004 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34706 | URL: | https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/10044296319 https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/5488/1/Performance-of-the-IBIS-Compton-mode/10.1117/12.554933.short |
