  • Review of the State of Infrared Detectors for Astronomy in Retrospect of the June 2002 Workshop on Scientific Detectors for Astronomy
    Review of the state of infrared detectors for astronomy in retrospect of the June 2002 Workshop on Scientific Detectors for Astronomy. Gert Fingera and James W. Beleticb a European Southern Obseravatory, D-85748 Garching, Germany b W. M. Keck Observatory 65-1120 Mamalahoa Hwy., Kamuela, Hi 96743, USA ABSTRACT Only two months ago, in June 2002, a workshop on scientific detectors for astronomy was held in Waimea, where for the first time both experts on optical CCD’s and infrared detectors working at the cutting edge of focal plane technology gathered. An overview of new developments in optical detectors such as CCD’s and CMOS devices will be given elsewhere in these proceedings [1]. This paper will focus on infrared detector developments carried out at the European Southern Observatory ESO and will also include selected highlights of infrared focal plane technology as presented at the Waimea workshop. Three main detector developments for ground based astronomers are currently pushing infrared focal plane technology. In the near infrared from 1 to 5 mm two technologies, both aiming for buttable 2Kx2K mosaics, will be reviewed, namely InSb and HgCdTe grown by LPE or MBE on Al2O3, Si or CdZnTe substrates. Blocked impurity band Si:As arrays cover the mid infrared spectral range from 8 to 28 mm. Since the video signal of infrared arrays, contrary to CCD’s, is DC coupled, long exposures with IR arrays are extremely susceptible to drifts and low frequency noise pick- up down to the mHz regime. New techniques to reduce thermal drifts and suppress low frequency noise with on-chip reference pixels will be discussed.

  • AN EMPIRICAL DETERMINATION of the INTERGALACTIC BACKGROUND LIGHT USING NEAR-INFRARED DEEP GALAXY SURVEY DATA out to 5 Μm and the GAMMA-RAY OPACITY of the UNIVERSE

Stecker2,3 1 Department of Physics and Astronomy, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA 2 Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA; [email protected] 3 Astrophysics Science Division, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, 8800 Greenbelt Road, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA Received 2014 January 21; accepted 2014 February 24; published 2014 March 14 ABSTRACT We extend our previous model-independent determination of the intergalactic background light, based purely on galaxy survey data, out to a wavelength of 5 μm. Our approach enables us to constrain the range of photon densities, based on the uncertainties from observationally determined luminosity densities and colors. We further determine a 68% confidence upper and lower limit on the opacity of the universe to γ -rays up to energies of 1.6/(1 + z)TeV. A comparison of our lower limit redshift-dependent opacity curves to the opacity limits derived from the results of both ground-based air Cerenkov telescope and Fermi-LAT observations of PKS 1424+240 allows us to place a new upper limit on the redshift of this source, independent of IBL modeling. Key words: BL Lacertae objects: individual (PKS 1424+240) – diffuse radiation – gamma rays: general Online-only material: color figure <z< 1.

  • TETRA Dla Polski
    A Mikromakro Institute Report TETRA for Poland 8 July 2011 ORGANISATIONAL & BUS INESS MODELS ISBN 978-83-62824-01-4 TETRA for Poland Page 1 TETRA for Poland ORGANISATIONAL & BUSINESS MODELS The deployment and implementation of a single nationwide communications system for public protection and disaster relief services is a complex challenge for any country. Synergies in the technical organisation of communications systems must be created for a number of different services, governed by different regulations and financed from different sources, which requires adaptation to their specific needs. One cannot discard the experience gained from their earlier operations, but on the other hand, some old ways, like the physical ownership and control of infrastructure need to be changed, because it is now better to share infrastructure with others. Securing stable financing for a major project can be quite a challenge, as it will compete with other important public policy objectives financed from the national budget. Even when governed by uncompromising security or national defence requirements, public telecommunications projects are increasingly often planned as long-term cooperation with private partners. The telecom sector has been commercialised over the last decade or so, and learned the ways of the market economy. Even if not designed to compete with market players, state-operated projects must take account of the market environment or else they will be unable to cope with their operating costs or secure finance for development. When taking on new challenges in the area of telecommunications, the public sector may take advantage of the knowledge of the private sector in the fields of technology, infrastructure roll-out, management of telecommunications operators' costs or application of sophisticated financial instruments.

  • Recent Studies on Hohlraum Energitics and Hohlraum Design
    Recent studies on hohlraum energitics and hohlraum design Ke Lan, Wenyi Huo, Yongsheng Li, Guoli Ren, Xin Li, Xujun Meng, Changshu Wu, Siyang Zou, Xiumei Qiao, Peijun Gu, Wudi Zheng, Dongxian Lai, and Tinggui Feng Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, P.O. Box 8009-14 Beijing, 100088, People’s Republic of China, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this paper, some recent studies on hohlraum physics at IAPCM (Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics) were presented, mainly including simulation study on hohlraum physics experiments on SGIII prototype, a novel method for simultaneously determining the maximum radiation temperature and M-band fraction inside a hohlraum, the design of Au + U + Au sandwich hohlraum for 300eV ignition target, and the way to give an initial design of hohlraum size and pertinent drive laser power in order to generate a required radiation profile. 1. Introduction Hohlraum plays a key role in the study of indirect drive inertial fusion, which converts the shaped laser pulse into a symmetrically time-dependent thermal radiation to assure a nearly isentropic compression of capsule to achieve thermonuclear ignition 1-6. Hence, worldwide IFE (Inertial Fusion Energy) scientists have been paying much efforts in the study of hohlraum physics 7-11, and a series of theory for hohlraum have been developed, such as the hohlraum coupling efficiency theory, capsule radiation uniformity theory 5, and plasma-filling model 12 . Inertial Fusion program began in China in 1993. We have laser facilities of SGII in Shanghai and SGIII prototype in Mianyang 13-15 . IAPCM in Beijing mainly engages in simulation and theoretical study of Inertial Fusion.
