    The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will be the major global observatory for gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. It will consist of two arrays of telescopes of different sizes, one for each hemisphere, and will be sensitive to gamma rays in the energy range from a few tens of GeV to hundreds of TeV. The Small-Sized Telescopes (SSTs) are a crucial component of the...

    Applications in Astrophysics & Astroparticle Physics
    Talk

    The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is an important performance
    metric for all position sensitive pixelated imaging detectors. Many
    methods of determining MTF experimentally in the optical wavelength
    region have been presented in the literature over the years, and
    generally involve projection of a known test pattern of some kind. Laser
    speckle MTF measurements are of interest for small...

    Talk

    The High Energy Particle Detector (HEPD-02) is one of the scientific payloads onboard the second China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES-02), one of a serie of Chinese-Italian space missions dedicated to monitoring of the near-Earth environment and to study the lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere coupling mechanisms.
    The launch of CSES-02 is foreseen in the first half of 2024.
    HEPD-02 is...

    X-ray and Gamma Ray Detectors
    Talk

    CIS221-X is a prototype CMOS image sensor, optimised for soft X-ray astronomy and developed for the proposed ESA THESEUS mission. The sensor features 40 $\mu$m pixels built on a 35 $\mu$m thick, high-resistivity epitaxial silicon that is fully depleted by reverse substrate bias. A comprehensive electro-optical characterisation of CIS221-X has been completed. When cooled to -40 °C, the image...
