Abstract:The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a balloon-borne soft γ-ray telescope (0.2-5 MeV) designed to study astrophysical sources. COSI employs a compact Compton telescope design and is comprised of twelve high-purity germanium semiconductor detectors. Tracking the locations and energies of γ-ray scatters within the detectors permits high-resolution spectroscopy, direct imaging over a wide field-of-view, polarization studies, and effective suppression of background events. Critical to the precise determin… Show more
