Detector Arrays: Space Instrumentation

Scientific paper

Our knowledge of the hard-X- and soft-γ-ray sky obtained in the last few years by satellite missions and in particular by SIGMA has demonstrated that in this energy range the next generation of instruments must provide both good imaging over a large field of view and fine spectroscopy over a large energy band. Currently, a possible answer to these requirements may be offered by instruments based on position-sensitive detectors (PSD) constructed of modular arrays of CdTe microspectrometers. The authors present experimental results obtained from CdTe microdetectors with various geometrical shapes and sizes. Furthermore, they outline a possible coded-mask telescope design based on a CdTe PDS together with an evaluation of the achievable sensitivity.
