PoGOLite - A High Sensitivity Balloon-Borne Soft Gamma-ray Polarimeter (2007)
Kamae, Tuneyoshi, Andersson, Viktor, Arimoto, Makoto, Axelsson, Magnus, Bettolo, Cecilia Marini, Björnsson, Claes-Ingvar, ...
We describe a new balloon-borne instrument (PoGOLite) capable of detecting 10% polarisation from 200mCrab point-like sources between 25 and 80keV in one 6 hour flight. Polarisation measurements in...
Fluctuation studies and energy reconstruction in a segmented calorimeter (2006)
Gavler, Sara Bergenius, Carlson, Per, Conrad, Jan
In order to better understand energy estimation of electromagnetic showers in segmented calorimeters, detailed Geant4 simulation studies of electromagnetic showers in the energy range 1--100 GeV in...
Cosmic Ray Spectral Deformation Caused by Energy Determination Errors (2005)
Carlson, Per, Wannemark, Conny
Using simulation methods, distortion effects on energy spectra caused by errors in the energy determination have been investigated. For cosmic ray proton spectra, falling steeply with kinetic energy...
