Research Abstract

Based on our technology of Si and CdTe imaging device and Si/CdTe Compton Camera, we have succeeded to develop detectors for a balloon-borne and rocket-borne hard X-ray observations. By using results obtained from Fermi, Suzaku and RHESSI, we performed various studies of particle acceleration in objects, such as Supernova Remnants, Gamma-ray binary system and the sun.
