EUV, X-ray, and gamma-ray instrumentation for astronomy and atomic physics; Proceedings of the Meeting, San Diego, CA, Aug. 7-11, 1989
Topics discussed in this volume include hard X-ray and gamma-ray imaging techniques, hard X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopic and imaging detectors, X-ray/EUV solid-state imagers, balloon and spaceborne experiments and missions, laboratory atomic physics instrumentation, and proportional counter detectors. Other topics discussed are high-resolution X-ray spectrometers, detector calibration, position readout techniques, and X-ray/EUV optics for astronomy and microscopy. Papers are presented on a Monte Carlo simulation of gamma-ray detectors using scintillation fibers, high-pressure gas scintillation drift chambers with wave-shifter readout, the X-ray characteristics of CCDs for the XMM reflection grating spectrometer, the in-flight performance of the hard X-ray telescope MIFRASO, and two wireless imaging proportional counters. Also considered are a fiber-fed imaging spectrometer, high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy using germanium microcalorimeters, and designs of scattering polarimeters at the focus of an X-ray telescope.
