    Invited Paper
    **DEPFET detectors for applications in astrophysics and photon science** P. Majewski, on behalf of the MIXS and EuXFEL DEPFET detector team PNSensor GmbH, Römerstr. 28, D-81739 München, Germany The DEPFET (DEpleted P-channel FET) is a combined detector-amplifier structure suitable for a wide range of applications. It has outstanding properties, like excellent energy resolution, high...

    X-ray and gamma ray detectors
    Oral Paper
    Recent advancements in the field of X-ray astronomy have relied significantly on innovations in grazing incidence X-ray optics technology, especially for the hard X-ray range for energies above 10 keV. The behavior of these X-ray telescopes for current and planned astrophysical and solar imaging missions needs to be well understood, and fully characterizing the optics includes measurement of...

  3. 62. A CMOS Active Pixel Sensor for high resolution imaging of the Jovian system
    Matthew Soman (Open University)
    10/09/2014, 12:00
    Applications in Astronomy, Planetary and Space Science
    Oral Paper
    The Jovian system is the subject of study for the Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE), an ESA mission which is planned to launch in 2022. The scientific payload is designed for both characterisation of the magnetosphere and radiation environment local to the spacecraft, as well as remote characterisation of Jupiter and its satellites. A key instrument on JUICE is the high resolution and wide...

  4. 124. Detector concepts for wide field X-ray imaging using Lobster Eye microchannel plate optics
    Jon Lapington (University of Leicester)
    10/09/2014, 12:20
    Applications in Astronomy, Planetary and Space Science
    Oral Paper
    Microchannel plate x-ray optics is an emerging technology, recently space proven on the NASA DXL sounding rocket experiment and soon to fly on the ESA Bepi-Colombo mission to Mercury. This compact, light-weight technology enables wide field of view x-ray imaging by mimicking the structure of a lobster’s eye; MPOs utilise grazing incidence reflections within the high aspect ratio square...

  5. 50. Particle tracking at cryogenic temperatures: The Fast Annihilation Cryogenic Tracking (FACT) detector for the AEgIS antimatter gravity experiment
    Dr James Storey (Universitaet Bern (CH))
    10/09/2014, 12:40
    Applications in Particle Physics and Astrophysics
    Oral Paper
    The AEgIS experiment at Cern is an interdisciplinary collaboration between atomic, plasma and particle physicists, with the scientific goal of performing the first direct measurement of the Earth's gravitational acceleration on antimatter. The principle of the experiment is as follows: cold antihydrogen atoms are synthesised in a Penning-Malberg trap and are Stark accelerated towards a moire...
