- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $431,144.20 grant provides funding for UC Berkeley to 1) refurbish the recently returned GRIPS high-altitude balloon payload, 2) evaluate replacing the current Germanium Electron Detectors (GEDs) with newer models, and 3) complete validation of GRIPS's X-ray imaging capabilities using...
- This federal grant award to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) aims to scale up their existing 50mm cross-strip (XS) photon counting ultraviolet (UV) detector technology to a larger 100x100mm format. The grant, valued at $973,962.28, is funded by NASA and is part of their "Development of Large Area (100x100 mm) Photon Counting UV Detectors" program. The goal is to raise the technology readiness level (TRL) of the XS detector from 4 to 6, which includes testing the...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded a $4,852,633.45 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to advance the technology readiness level (TRL) of focal-plane superconducting detectors and readout electronics for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) LITEBIRD cosmic microwave background (CMB) mission and other future CMB space missions. The project aims to develop two types of...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $1.17 million research grant from NASA (awarded February 15, 2022, with completion targeted for February 14, 2027) to advance microchannel plate (MCP) detector technology with cross-strip (XS) readout systems for future space missions. The project focuses on developing a multi-channel application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to improve upon earlier prototypes, specifically addressing power consumption challenges that currently limit...
- This is a grant award to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to support the University's tasks on the GAPS Experiment, a search for dark matter using low-energy antiprotons and antideuterons. The primary focus of the $2,424,235.16 award is on the development and testing of silicon-lithium readout electronics and support of the flight program and scientific analysis. This grant is part of the larger GAPS...
