11 Aug 2016 | | Abstract: | The Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) is a high energy, wide-field imaging
instrument on AstroSat. CZT’s namesake Cadmium Zinc Telluride detectors cover
an energy range from 20 keV to > 200 keV, with 11% energy resolution at 60 keV.
The coded aperture mask attains an angular resolution of 17’ over a 4.6 deg x
4.6 deg (FWHM) field of view. CZTI functions as an open detector above 100 keV,
continuously sensitive to GRBs and other transients in about 30% of the sky.
The pixellated detectors are sensitive to polarisation above ~100 keV, with
exciting possibilities for polarisation studies of transients and bright
persistent sources. In this paper, we provide details of the complete CZTI
instrument, detectors, coded aperture mask, mechanical and electronic
configuration, as well as data and products. | | Source: | arXiv, 1608.3408 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
