The astrophysics division of CEA is developing high reliability CdTe based pixelated imaging spectrometers with high energy resolution and high dynamic range for astronomy and solar physics in space. The detector technology, known as Caliste, was developed as part of a long-standing research and development program involving detector simulations and performance assessments, the development of...

High energy polarimetry, as recently demonstrated by NASA’s IXPE mission in the soft X ray band, is opening new perspectives in high energy astrophysics by adding a fresh observational dimension alongside the well established techniques of spectroscopy, imaging, and timing. This measurement capability had already been proposed to the scientific community... -

As transient sky polarimetry gains prominence in high-energy astrophysics, the SWIPE (Soft-X and gamma-ray WIde-field Polarimeter) mission concept introduces an integrated approach to photoelectric and Compton detection. In the 0.2–8 keV range, the mission employs gas mixture photoelectric absorption to maximize sensitivity and efficiency. For higher energies (20–1000 keV), the Compton...
