Science with e-ASTROGAM (a space mission for MeV-GeV gamma-ray astrophysics)
De Angelis, A.; Tatischeff, V.; Grenier, I. A.; McEnery, J.; Mallamaci, M.; Tavani, M.; Oberlack, U.; Hanlon, L.; Walter, R.; Argan, A.e-ASTROGAM (enhanced ASTROGAM) is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated to the study of the non-thermal Universe in the photon energy range from 0.3 MeV to 3 GeV - the lower energy limit can be pushed to energies as low as 150 keV for the tracker, and to 30 keV for calorimetric detection. The mission is ba...
LATTES: a new gamma-ray detector concept for South America
Assis, P.; Almeida, U. Barres de; Blanco, A.; Conceição, R.; Piazzoli, B. D'Ettoree; de Angelis, A.; Doro, M.; Fonte, P.; Lopes, L.; Matthiae, G.5 pages, 5 figures, Proc. of RICAP2016, v2: correct affiliation and doi; Currently the detection of Very High Energy gamma-rays for astrophysics rely on the measurement of the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) either using Cherenkov detectors or EAS arrays with larger field of views but also larger energy thresholds. In this talk we present a novel hybrid detector concept for a EAS array with an improved sensitivity ...

A large area TOF-tracker device based on multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers
Assis, P.; Bernardino, A.; Blanco, A.; Luz, R.; Mendes, L.; Michel, J.; Neiser, A.; Pereira, A.; Pimenta, M.; Shellard, R.; Traxler, M.The TOF-tracker concept, the simultaneous measurement of accurate time and bi-dimensional space coordinates in a single gaseous detector, has been previously demonstrated. The detector yielded a time resolution of 77 ps σ along with a bi-dimensional position resolution of 38 μm σ over a full active area of 60 × 60 mm2. In here, we report about a large area, 1550 × 1250 mm2, TOF-tracker device, tested by trackin...
