LAUE LENSES FOR HARD X–/SOFT γ–RAYS: NEW PROTOTYPE RESULTS

TL;DR: The results obtained with the new Laue lens prototype built in the LARIX facility in the Physics Department of University of Ferrara will be presented in this paper, where the results of the new prototype with improved performances in terms of point spread function (PSF) and spectral response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performances of the pulse shape electronics of the high energy experiment PDS on board the X-ray astronomy satellite SAX

TL;DR: The PDS detector is composed of four actively shielded NaI(Tl)/CsI(Na) phoswich scintillators, and has a field of view of 1.4 degrees full width half maximum (FWHM) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Focusing effect of bent GaAs crystals for gamma-ray Laue lenses: Monte Carlo and experimental results

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on results of observation of the focusing effect from the planes (220) of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) crystals and compared the experimental results with the simulations of the GaAs tiles through a developed Monte Carlo.

Insight-HXMT and GECAM-C observations of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009A

Z. H. An, +171 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors measured the isotropic equivalent energy of the gamma-ray burst of GRB 221009A, including its precursor, main emission (ME), flaring emission and early afterglow, in the hard X-ray to soft gamma ray band from 10 keV to 6 MeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

GRB minimum variability timescale with Insight-HXMT and Swift. Implications for progenitor models, dissipation physics, and GRB classifications

TL;DR: In this article , the authors define the minimum variability timescale (MVT) as the shortest duration of individual pulses that shape a light curve for a sample of GRBs and test correlations with peak luminosity, Lorentz factor, and jet opening angle.
