Scientific paper

The low-energy telescopes on EXIST are a coded aperture system that will continually image the 5-30 keV sky with 1' angular resolution and 12" source localization accuracy. The good source localization accuracy is essential to uniquely identify counterparts to obscured AGN and gamma-ray bursts. A total detector area of about one square meter with 200 micron square pixel is required. We are evaluating two silicon-based technologies capable of achieving the required performance: active pixel sensors with integrated DEPFET readout, and fully pixellated hybrid sensors with CMOS readout multiplexers optimized for X-ray detection.
