About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $1.1 million grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to advance the capabilities of cadmium zinc telluride bar detectors for use in future medium energy gamma-ray missions. No set-aside was designated for this award. Under the grant, the University of Maryland will conduct research to develop technologies that expand the largely unexplored MeV energy range, offering potential for astrophysics discovery related to nucleosynthesis, multi-messenger astronomy, astrophysical jets, and compact objects. This work builds on the University's previous research supported through the Astrophysics Research and Analysis program. The period of performance for detector research and development under this grant is from January 2020 through January 2025.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Building on our previous apra work, we propose to advance the capabilities of cdznte bar detectors for use in future medium energy .-RAY missions. The largely unexplored MEV energy range offers great potential for astrophysics discovery, including aspects of nucleosynthesis, multi-messenger/gravitational waves, jets, and compact objects. This field has been constrained by low cross sections, high backgrounds, and limitations in technology.
