Detector concepts

Oral

Recently, more than 300 satellites are launched globally every year, significantly lowering the hurdle to space exploration. Particularly, small satellites weighing less than several tens of kilograms are widely used in industry and telecommunications, but they are also crucial as a pathfinder for cutting-edge space science. Tokyo Tech successfully launched the 50 kg university satellite...

Applications in astrophysics

Oral

The monolithic X-ray SOI-CMOS detector "XRPIX" integrates a sensor layer and a CMOS layer by sandwiching an insulating layer made of SiO2 using SOI technology. This detector is planned to be installed in future X-ray satellites. SOI technology allows us to implement complex CMOS readout circuits. The detection efficiency is high even for X-rays above 10 keV due to the thick depletion layer of...

Applications in astrophysics

Oral

Cosmic MeV gamma-ray observations are important for understanding physics in high-energy astronomical objects such as gamma-ray bursts and blazars. However, there has been no progress since COMPTEL on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory in the 1990s, thus a new satellite for MeV gamma-ray observations is needed. Compton scattering is the dominant interaction between MeV gamma-rays and...
