Research Abstract

To reveal the site of particle acceleration in the Universe, we have fabricated an imaging X-ray polarimeter. We manufactured a newly designed Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) for space use, and performed environment tests of them. Although we could not carry out the balloon observation of Crab Nebula during the grant period, we established the GEM operation method in space and completed the X-ray polarimeter development. Those results lead us to the collaboration works with NASA on a rocket experiment and the X-ray polarimetry satellite GEMS.
