Each of the 3,000-gallon tanks is a particle detector for capturing cosmic rays. The Auger Observatory uses both water tanks and optical detectors to measure the cosmic ray air showers. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/FNAL-Auger-Detector/FNAL-Auger-Detector.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/George-Clark-Harvard/explorer-11_detector/explorer-11_detector.dc.xml Draushaar and Clark’s detector for Explorer 11 was designed to detect gamma rays above 50 MeV. The image on the left shows the detector. It measured 20 inches high, 10 inches in diameter, and weighed about 30 pounds. The image on the right is a diagram of the detector, which consisted of a sandwich crystal scintillator and a Lucite Cherenkov counter, surrounded by a plastic anticoincidence scintillator. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/George-Clark-Harvard/explorer-11_detector/explorer-11_detector.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/NASA-OSO-3-GC/NASA-OSO-3-GC.dc.xml Scale drawing of the OSO 3 detector.

The illustration on the left is an artists rendering of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory indicating the location of the BATSE detectors on the observatory. The diagram on the right illustrates how one of the eight detectors look. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/cgro-with-batse-diagram/cgro-with-batse-diagram.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/coded_aperture/coded_aperture.dc.xml Incoming light hits the coded aperture mask, casting a shadow on the detector. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/coded_aperture/coded_aperture.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/detector_module/detector_module.dc.xml On the right you can see the CZT detectors that form one 8 x 16 array. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/detector_module/detector_module.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/explorer-11_detector/explorer-11_detector.dc.xml Draushaar and Clark’s detector for Explorer 11 was designed to detect gamma rays above 50 MeV.

It is one of three cameras that make up the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/opo0206g/opo0206g.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/GRIS_Ge_detectors/GRIS_Ge_detectors.dc.xml GRIS consists of seven of the world's largest, high-purity, n-type germanium (Ge) detectors. The detectors are cooled to liquid nitrogen temperatures (in order to achieve high resolution) and are surrounded by a thick anti-coincidence shield which allows the rejection of background events from true astrophysical events. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/GRIS_Ge_detectors/GRIS_Ge_detectors.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/XRS-2/XRS-2.dc.xml The XRS (X-ray Spectrometer) originated from Harvey's early ideas. This image shows the the second XRS in its front-end assembly which is filled with helium to keep the detector extrememly cold. The small, silvery blocking filter at the center of the image prevents optical, ultraviolet, and infrared light from entering the detector behind it, but allows X-rays to pass through. XRS-2 was launched on the Japanese spacecraft Suzaku in 2005, but it failed after launch. The first of the spectrometers, XRS-1, launched on the Astro-E spacecraft in 2000, but the launch failed and the spacecraft was destroyed. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/XRS-2/XRS-2.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/array/array.dc.xml Image of the XQC array mounted on a circuit board and installed in the flight detector box. The XQC experiment is composed of a 36 pixel microcalorimeter X-ray detector. The entire array is micromachined from a single piece of silicon with each pixel measuring 0.5 x 2.0 mm. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/array/array.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
