Issue Date: | 2020 | Journal: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Volume: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2020: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Editors: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Nikzad, Shouleh;Nakazawa, Kazuhiro | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 11444 | First Page: | 114448R | Abstract: | The X and Gamma Imaging Spectrometer instrument on-board the THESEUS mission (selected by ESA in the framework of the Cosmic Vision M5 launch opportunity, currently in phase A) is based on a detection plane composed of several thousands of single active elements. Each element comprises a 4.5×4.5×30 mm<SUP>3</SUP> CsI(Tl) scintillator bar, optically coupled at both ends to Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs). The SDDs acts both as photodetectors for the scintillation light and as direct X-ray sensors. In this paper the design of the XGIS detection plane is reviewed, outlining the strategic choices in terms of modularity and redundancy of the system. Results on detector-electronics prototypes are also described. Moreover, the design and development of the lownoise front-end electronics is presented, emphasizing the innovative architectural design based on custom-designed Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). | Conference Name: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2020: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Conference Place: | Online Only, California, United States | Conference Date: | 14-18 December, 2020 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/36888 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/11444/2561002/The-XGIS-instrument-on-board-THESEUS--the-detection-plane/10.1117/12.2561002.full https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85099313540 |
