| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a wide field X-ray imaging detector aboard satellite to probe the early universe with gamma-ray burst phenomena known as the biggest explosion in the universe. We developed the world’s highest level of “high-gain and low-noise” analog ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), and we demonstrated readout for X-ray signal above 1 keV. We performed radiation tolerant tests for all peripheral electric parts, and confirmed their tolerances are more than 10 years in satellite orbit. According to these results, we will quickly develop the flight hardware in near future.
