We present a study of the Angular Resolution of the AGILE gamma-ray imaging detector (GRID) that is operational in space since April 2007. The AGILE instrument is made of an array of 12 planes each equipped with a Tungsten converter and…
A rotational modulator (RM) gamma-ray imager is capable of obtaining significantly better angular resolution than the fundamental geometric resolution defined by the ratio of detector diameter to mask-detector separation. An RM imager…
In recent years, a new generation of space missions offered great opportunities of discovery in high-energy astrophysics. In this article we focus on the scientific operations of the Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) onboard the AGILE space…
Purpose: Handheld gamma cameras with coded aperture collimators are under investigation for intraoperative imaging in nuclear medicine. Coded apertures are a promising collimation technique for applications such as lymph node localization…
We present in this paper the results of a comprehensive GEANT simulation of the Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) being developed for the AGILE space astrophysics mission. The GRID is designed to be sensitive in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy…
In this paper (Paper II) we complete our discussion on the results of a comprehensive GEANT simulation of the scientific performance of the AGILE Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID), operating in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy range in an…
AGILE is a mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) Scientific Program dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics, operating in a low Earth orbit since April 23, 2007. It is designed to be a very light and compact instrument, capable of…
Accurate reconstruction of recoil-electron directions is critical for enhancing the point-spread function of electron-tracking Compton cameras (ETCCs) in gamma-ray imaging. Although full three-dimensional (3D) readout systems achieve…
The Cosmic Multiperspective Event Tracker (CoMET) R&D project aims to optimize the techniques for the detection of soft-spectrum sources through very-high-energy gamma-ray observations using particle detectors (called ALTO detectors), and…
Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been extensively used for imaging complex materials down to atomic resolution. The most commonly employed STEM modality, annular dark-field imaging, produces easily-interpretable…
We report on the spatial response characterization of large LaCl$_{3}$(Ce) monolithic crystals optically coupled to 8$\times$8 pixel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensors. A systematic study has been carried out for 511 keV $\gamma$-rays…
Part I describes the analysis of periodic and transient signals in EGRET data. A method to search for the transient flux from gamma-ray bursts independent of triggers from other gamma-ray instruments is developed. Several known gamma-ray…
The accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations in reproducing the scientific performance of space telescopes (e.g. angular resolution) is mandatory for a correct design of the mission. A brand-new Monte Carlo simulator of the Astrorivelatore Gamma…
Full 3D inversion of time-domain Airborne ElectroMagnetic (AEM) data requires specialists' expertise and a tremendous amount of computational resources, not readily available to everyone. Consequently, quasi-2D/3D inversion methods are…
Electron tomography is a technique used in both materials science and structural biology to image features well below optical resolution limit. In this work, we present a new algorithm for reconstructing the three-dimensional(3D)…
The next generation of radioactive ion beam facilities, which will give experimental access to many exotic nuclei, are presently being developed. At the same time the next generation of high resolution gamma-ray spectrometers, based on…
AGILE is an innovative, cost-effective gamma-ray mission proposed to the ASI Program of Small Scientific Missions. It is planned to detect gamma-rays in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy band and operate as an {\bf Observatory} open to the…
We present an efficient, elastic 3D LiDAR reconstruction framework which can reconstruct up to maximum LiDAR ranges (60 m) at multiple frames per second, thus enabling robot exploration in large-scale environments. Our approach only…
SuperAGILE is the X-ray stage of the AGILE gamma-ray mission. It is devoted to monitor X-ray (10-40 keV) sources with a sensitivity better than 10 mCrabs in 50 ks and to detect X-ray transients in a field of view of 1.8 sr, well matched to…
Active incoherent millimeter-wave (AIM) imaging is a recently developed technique that has been shown to generate fast millimeter-wave imaging using sparse apertures and Fourier domain sampling. In these systems, spatial frequency sampling…
