| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have successfully developed X-ray photon-counting system (camera) for the imaging-spectroscopic observation of the solar corona in soft X-rays. This system consists of back-illuminated CMOS sensor and high-speed data acquisition board. The back-illuminated CMOS sensor has a capability for the X-ray photon counting with high speed rate.
Our developed X-ray photon-counting system is mounted on the FOXSI-3 sounding rocket (US NASA sounding rocket) that is planed to be launched in the end of August 2018, for the first focusing imaging-spectroscopic observation of the solar corona in soft X-rays.
