  1. 136. Detectors and imagers for planetary exploration missions

    Talk

    In the last 50 years many spacecrafts have explored all major planets and many other small planetary objects within our solar system. Most of the missions are based on remote-sensing instruments to globally explore the physical-, chemical and geological nature of the planetary objects. Many recent and future missions will explore our solar system by landers and rovers with in-situ...

  2. 77. High-Energy 3D Calorimeter for Use in Gamma-ray Astronomy based on position-sensitive virtual Frisch-grid CdZnTe (CZT) detectors

    We will present a concept for a calorimeter based on a novel approach of 3D position-sensitive virtual Frisch-grid CZT detectors. This calorimeter aims to measure photons with energies from ~100 keV to 20- 50 MeV. The expected energy resolution at 662 keV is better than 1% FWHM, and the photon interaction position-measurement accuracy is better than 1 mm in all 3 dimensions.
    Each CZT bar is a...

    Talk

    The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) is an Astrophysics Probe mission concept designed to explore the MeV sky. It has a unique capability to cover with high sensitivity both the Compton and pair conversion regimes from ~200 keV to >10 GeV. To date the MeV regime remains a poorly explored window on the Universe, and promises a rich return similar to what Fermi-LAT achieved in...

  4. 114. High frame rate and low noise CMOS WaveFront imager for E-ELT Adaptative Optics
    Jerome Pratlong (Teledyne e2v)

    Talk

    The European Southern observatory’s extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) will allow the search for exoplanets, drastically advance astrophysical knowledge (super-massive black holes or the nature and distribution of the dark matter for instance) and to study far distant galaxies. This telescope uses sophisticated Adaptive Optics systems and the laser/Natural guide star WaveFront imager is a very...
