    Abstract We made observations of magnetic field variations in association with pulsating auroras with the magneto‐impedance sensor magnetometer (MIM) carried by the Loss through Auroral Microburst Pulsations (LAMP) sounding rocket that was launched at 11:27:30 UT on 5 March 2022 from Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska. At an altitude of 200–250 km, MIM detected clear enhancements of the magnetic field by 15–25 nT in both the northward and westward components. From simultaneous observations with the ground all‐sky camera, we found that the footprint of LAMP at the 100 km altitude was located near the center of a pulsating auroral patch. The auroral patch had a dimension of ∼90 km in latitude and ∼25 km in longitude, and its major axis was inclined toward northwest. These observations were compared with results of a simple model calculation, in which local electron precipitation into the thin‐layer ionosphere causes an elliptical auroral patch. The conductivity within the patch is enhanced in the background electric field and as a result, the magnetic field variations are induced around the auroral patch. The model calculation results can explain the MIM observations if the electric field points toward southeast and one of the model parameters is adjusted. We conclude that the pulsating auroral patch in this event was associated with a one‐pair field‐aligned current that consists of downward (upward) currents at the poleward (equatorward) edge of the patch. This current structure is maintained even if the auroral patch is latitudinally elongated.

    Abstract Variations of relativistic electron fluxes (E ≥ 1 MeV) and wave activity in the Earth magnetosphere are studied to determine the contribution of different acceleration mechanisms of the outer radiation belt electrons: ULF mechanism, VLF mechanism, and adiabatic acceleration. The electron fluxes were measured by Arase satellite and geostationary GOES satellites. The ULF power index is used to characterize the magnetospheric wave activity in the Pc5 range. To characterize the VLF wave activity in the magnetosphere, we use data from PWE instrument of Arase satellite. We consider some of the most powerful magnetic storms during the Arase era: May 27–29, 2017; September 7–10, 2017; and August 25–28, 2018. Also, non-storm intervals with a high solar wind speed before and after these storms for comparison are analyzed. Magnitudes of relativistic electron fluxes during these magnetic storms are found to be greater than that during non-storm intervals with high solar wind streams. During magnetic storms, the flux intensity maximum shifts to lower L-shells compared to intervals without magnetic storms. For the considered events, the substorm activity, as characterized by AE index, is found to be a necessary condition for the increase of relativistic electron fluxes, whereas a high solar wind speed alone is not sufficient for the relativistic electron growth. The enhancement of relativistic electron fluxes by 1.5–2 orders of magnitude is observed 1–3 days after the growth of the ULF index and VLF emission power. The growth of VLF and ULF wave powers coincides with the growth of substorm activity and occurs approximately at the same time. Both mechanisms operate at the first phase of electron acceleration. At the second phase of electron acceleration, the mechanism associated with the injection of electrons into the region of the magnetic field weakened by the ring current and their subsequent betatron acceleration during the magnetic field restoration can work effectively.

    Abstract Using Arase observations of the inner magnetosphere during 26 CIR‐driven geomagnetic storms with minimum Sym‐H between ‐33 and ‐86 nT, we investigated ring current pressure development of ions (H+, He+, O+) and electron during prestorm, main, early recovery and late recovery phases as a function of L‐shell and magnetic local time. It is found that during the main and early recovery phase of the storms the ion pressure is asymmetric in the inner magnetosphere, leading to a strong partial ring current. The ion pressure becomes symmetric during the late recovery phase. H+ ions with energies of ∼20‐50 keV and ∼50‐100 keV contribute more to the ring current pressure during the main phase and early/late recovery phase, respectively. O+ ions with energies of ∼10‐20 keV contribute significantly during main and early recovery phase. These are consistent with previous studies. The electron pressure was found to be asymmetric during the main, early recovery and late recovery phase. The electron pressure peaks from midnight to the dawn sector. Electrons with energy of <50 keV contribute to the ring current pressure during the main and early recovery phase of the storms. Overall, the electron contribution to the total ring current is found to be ∼11% during the main and early recovery phases. However, the electron contribution is found to be significant (∼22%) in the 03‐09 MLT sector during the main and early recovery phase. The results indicate an important role of electrons in the ring current build up. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

    The Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board Suzaku covers a wide energy range from 10keV to 600 keV by the combination of silicon PIN diodes and GSO scintillators. The HXD is designed to achieve an extremely low in-orbit background based on a combination of new techniques, including the concept of a well-type active shield counter. With an effective area of 142cm 2 at 20keV and 273cm 2 at 150keV, the background level at sea level reached ∼ 1 × 10 -5 cts s -1 cm -2 keV -1 at 30 keV for the PIN diodes, and ∼ 2 × 10 -5 cts s -1 cm -2 keV -1 at 100keV, and ∼ 7 × 10 -6 cts s -1 cm -2 keV -1 at 200keV for the phoswich counter. Tight active shielding of the HXD results in a large array of guard counters surrounding the main detector parts. These anti-coincidence counters, made of ∼ 4cm thick BGO crystals, have a large effective area for sub-MeV to MeV x-rays. They work as an excellent y-ray burst monitor with limited angular resolution (∼ 5°). The on-board signal-processing system and the data transmitted to the ground are also described. © 2007.

    The in-orbit performance and calibration of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board the X-ray astronomy satellite Suzaku are described. Its basic performances, including a wide energy bandpass of 10-600 keV, energy resolutions of ∼ 4 keV (FWHM) at 40 keV and ∼ 11% at 511 keV, and a high background rejection efficiency, have been confirmed by extensive in-orbit calibrations. The long-term gains of PIN-Si diodes have been stable within 1% for half a year, and those of scintillators have decreased by 5-20%. The residual non-X-ray background of the HXD is the lowest among past non-imaging hard X-ray instruments in energy ranges of 15-70 and 150-500 keV. We provide accurate calibrations of energy responses, angular responses, timing accuracy of the HXD, and relative normalizations to the X-ray CCD cameras using multiple observations of the Crab Nebula. © 2007.

    We have been developed Si/CdTe semiconductor Compton telescope to explore the universe in the energy band from several 10 keV to a few MeV. In our Si/CdTe Compton telescope, a stacked thin CdTe pixel detector is a key component to achieve higher detection efficiency for MeV gamma-rays maintaining high energy resolution. In this paper, results from a prototype stacked CdTe pixel detector are reported, which consists of three layers of CdTe pixel detectors and one CdTe pixel detector at their side. With this prototype detector, we succeeded in Compton reconstruction of images and spectra in the energy band from 122 keV to 662 keV. The energy resolution (FWHM) of reconstructed spectra is 7.3 keV at 511 keV and 3.1 keV at 122 keV, respectively.

    Employing Fourier-synthesis optics and one-dimensional position-sensitive detectors, we are developing a novel hard X-ray imager which can work in the ∼10 keV to ∼200 keV range either as a telescope or a microscope. As the detection part of our imager, we have developed a strip detector made of Schottky CdTe diode, with its cathode divided into 64 channels of 150 μm pitch. Electrodes of all channels are gold-stud bonded to a fanout board, and connected to low noise analog ASIC. We read out signals from all channels simultaneously. As the grid optics elements, one-dimensional modulation collimator grids of 1 mm thick tungsten have been manufactured, with 10 grid pitches ranging from 0.2 mm to 2 mm with harmonic ratios. Combining the CdTe strip detector and the modulation collimators, we have verified hard X-ray imaging performance of this system. Specifically, by observing an241Am source, we have successfully obtained an image in the 10-70 keV range. © 2004 IEEE.

    The Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) on board NeXT (Japanese future high energy astrophysics mission) is a Compton telescope with narrow field of view (FOV), which utilizes Compton kinematics to enhance its background rejection capabilities. It is realized as a hybrid semiconductor gamma-ray detector which consists of silicon and CdTe (Cadmium Telluride) detectors. It can detect photons in a wide energy band (0.05-1 MeV) at a background level of 5 × 10-7counts/s/cm2/keV; the silicon layers are required to improve the performance at a lower energy band (<0.3 MeV). Excellent energy resolution is the key feature of the SGD, allowing to achieve both high angular resolution and good background rejection capability. An additional capability of the SGD, its ability to measure gamma-ray polarization opens up a new window to study properties of astronomical objects. We will present the development of key technologies to realize the SGD; high quality CdTe, low noise front-end ASIC and bump bonding tecnology. Energy resolutions of 1.7 keV (FWHM) for CdTe pixel detectors and 1.1 keV for Si strip detectors have been measured. We also present the validation of MC simulation used to evaluate the performance of the SGD. © 2004 IEEE.

    We summarize significant improvements which have been achived in the development of Astro-E2 Hard X-ray Detector (HXD-II). An expanded energy range and better energy resolution have been achieved from progresses in device materials and redesigning of the front-end electronics. An improved estimation for the detector background in orbit has also been conducted based upon results from our proton irradiation experiment. The sensitivity of HXD-II can be expected to reach an order of 10(-6) [c s(-1) keV(-1) cm(-2)].

    We are developing a medium energy particle detector in a high-count rate environment, in order to solve the acceleration mechanism and the process of high-energy particles in the collision less plasma shock region in the space. The key observation is to measure the maximum energy of accelerated particles correctly. It is important to reduce the pile-up events, in order to measure the correct maximum energy. The new developed detector for the high-count rate environment consists of the double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) and the readout Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips VA32TA, made by IDEA. The performance of the new DSSD system for charged particles was tested using proton beams with an energy of 6 MeV from the medium-energy accelerator in the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) of the National Institute for Radiological Science. The result is that the new DSSD system works well and has high performance in detecting not only X-rays, but also charged particles. It is certain that this new DSSD system can measure the correct energy of incident particles in high-count rate environments using the accelerator.

    HIGH-ENERGY DETECTORS IN ASTRONOMY 5501 218-228 2004年  
    We have developed a large CdTe pixel detector with dimensions of 23.7 x 13.0 mm(2) and a pixel size of 448 x 448 mum(2). The detector is based on recent technologies of an uniform CdTe single crystal, a two-dimensional ASIC, and stud bump-bonding to connect pixel electrodes on the CdTe surface to the ASIC. Good spectra are obtained from 1051 pixels out of total 1056 pixels. When we operate the detector at -50degreesC, the energy resolution is 0.67 keV and 0.99 keV at 14 keV and 60 keV, respectively. Week-long stability of the detector is confirmed at operating temperatures of both -50degreesC and -20degreesC. The detector also shows high uniformity: the peak positions for all pixels agree to within 0.82%, and the average of the energy resolution is 1.04 keV at a temperature of -50degreesC. When we normalized the peak area by the total counts detected by each pixel, a variation of 2.1% is obtained.

    The Hard X-ray Detector (HXD-II), one of instruments onboard the Astro-E2 satellite to be launched in February 2005, is in the final stage of its development. The HXD-II probes the universe in the energy range of 10-600 keV with a sensitivity by an order of magnitude better than those of previous missions. The assembly of the HXD-II completed in January 2004, followed by a series of pre-launch qualification tests. As a result, the design goals of the HXD-II have been met. These include; a background level of 5x10(-6) counts/s/keV/cm(2) at 200 keV for GSO and 1x10(-5) counts/s/keV/cm(2) at 30 keV for PIN; energy resolutions of 2.9 keV (PIN diode, at 59.5 keV) and 10% (GSO scintillator, at 662 keV); and low energy thresholds of 10 keV for PIN diodes and 30 keV for GSO scintillators. The measured background predicts a continuum sensitivity of a few x10(-6) photons/s/keV/cm(2). Anti-Counter units surrounding the HXD-II provide 50 keV-5 MeV information on gamma-ray bursts and bright X-ray transients.

    HIGH-ENERGY DETECTORS IN ASTRONOMY 5501 229-240 2004年  
    We are developing a Compton telescope based on high resolution Si and CdTe imaging devices in order to obtain a high sensitivity astrophysical observation in sub-MeV gamma-ray region. In this paper, recent results from the prototype Si/CdTe semiconductor Compton telescope are reported. The Compton telescope consists of a double-sided Si strip detector (DSSD) and CdTe pixel detectors, combined with low noise analog LSI, VA32TA. With this detector, we obtained Compton reconstructed images and spectra from line gamma-rays ranging from 81 keV up to 356 keV. The energy resolution is 3.8 keV and 7.9 keV at 122 keV and 356 keV, respectively, and the angular resolution is 9.9degrees and 5.7degrees at 122 keV and 356 keV, respectively.

    A Semiconductor Multiple-Compton Telescope (SMCT) is expected to proceed a high-sensitivity soft gamma-ray observation in the energy range of 0.1-20 MeV. Double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) is one of key technologies for constructing SMCT, as well as the high-stopping semiconductor CdTe, because of its high energy resolution and high scattering efficiency. We have developed a low-noise system of DSSD and frontend LSI for SMCT, by optimizing geometrical structures of DSSD. We have thus obtained an energy resolution of 1.3 keV (FWHM) for 60 keV and 122 keV at -10degreesC in the multi-channel reading. Gamma-ray responses such as image flatness and charge splittings were found to be not problematic. We also demonstrated that our system achieved the good angular resolution close to the Doppler-broadening limit in the Compton imaging by two DSSDs.

    Compton telescope is a promising technology to achieve very high sensitivity in the soft gamma-ray band (0.1-10 MeV) by utilizing Compton kinematics. Compton kinematics also enables polarization measurement which will open new windows to study gamma-ray production mechanism in the universe. CdTe and Si semiconductor technologies are key technologies to realize the Compton telescope in which their high energy resolution is crucial for high angular resolution and back-round rejection capability. We have assembled a prototype module using a double-sided silicon strip detector and CdTe pixel detectors. In this paper, we present expected polarization performance of a proposed mission (NeXT/SGD). We also report results from polarization measurements using polarized synchrotron light and validation of EGS4 MC simulation.
