    The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been exploring the high-energy gamma-ray sky since its launch on June 11, 2008. After 5 years of essentially flawless operations, the LAT collected more than 800 million gamma rays from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV. With its uniform coverage of the sky, the LAT allowed the first high statistics observations of gamma-ray sources of known classes as well...

    We are developing a technique to fabricate fine spatial resolution (FWHM < 0.5mm) and cost-effective photon counting detectors, by using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) coupled with finely pixelated scintillator plate. Unlike traditional X-ray imagers that use a micro-columnar CsI(Tl) plate, we can pixelate various scintillation crystal plates more than 1mm thick, and easily develop...

    We are developing the Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) on-board the ASTRO-H satellite, which is planned to be launched in 2015. The SXI consists of four CCDs arranged in a 2 by 2 mosaic and covers a wide field-of-view 38' by 38'. Since the CCDs are P-channel back-illuminated type and have the depletion layers of ~200 micrometers, the SXI has high quantum efficiency for X-rays in the wide range of...

    We have developed a high-resolution, compact Positron Emission Tomography (PET) module for future use in MRI-PET scanners. The module consists of large-area, 4 x 4 ch MPPC arrays (Hamamatsu S11827-3344MG) optically coupled with Ce:LYSO scintillators fabricated into 12 x 12 matrices of 1 x 1 mm^2 pixels. At this stage, a pair of module and coincidence circuits was assembled into an experimental...
