Coded aperture imaging in X- and gamma-ray astronomy

TLDR
Coded aperture imaging in high energy astronomy represents an important technical advance in instrumentation over the full energy range from X-to γ-rays and is playing a unique role in those spectral ranges where other techniques become ineffective or impracticable due to limitations connected to the physics of interactions of photons with matter.
Abstract
Coded aperture imaging in high energy astronomy represents an important technical advance in instrumentation over the full energy range from X- to γ-rays and is playing a unique role in those spectral ranges where other techniques become ineffective or impracticable due to limitations connected to the physics of interactions of photons with matter. The theory underlying this method of indirect imaging is of strong relevance both in design optimization of new instruments and in the data analysis process. The coded aperture imaging method is herein reviewed with emphasis on topics of mainly practical interest along with a description of already developed and forthcoming implementations.

The INTEGRAL/IBIS scientific data analysis

TL;DR: The coded-mask imaging gamma-ray telescope onboard the INTEGRAL satellite (IBIS) provides high-resolution (12') sky images of 29° x 29° in the energy range from 15 keV to 10 MeV with typical on-axis sensitivity of 1 mCrab at 100 keV (3σ, 10 6 s exposure).

Coded aperture imaging with uniformly redundant arrays

TL;DR: Computer simulations show that the URA with significant shot and background noise is vastly superior to random array techniques without noise, and permits a detector which is smaller than its random array counterpart.
