• W626758429 abstract "The Ph.D. Thesis, performed at IASF CNR/INAF in Rome under the supervision of dr. Enrico Costa, contains the study of the scientific performances of the SuperAGILE instrument. SuperAGILE is the X-ray monitor of AGILE, satellite-borne mission of ASI whose payload is composed of two instruments, sensitive in the 15-40 keV and 30 MeV-50 GeV energy bands respectively, and whose launch is foreseen in late 2005. SuperAGILE is a coded aperture instrument with silicon microstrip detector and tungsten coded mask. Topic of my Ph.D. Thesis is the study of the SuperAGILE scientific performances and criticalities: measurement of the performances uniformity of the XAA1.2 front-end electronic circuit, of its thermal stability and of its stability toward supply voltage variations, study of the cosmic rays interaction in the front-end circuit with experimental measurements and estimate of the expected flux in orbit, measurements of the scientific performances of the SuperAGILE flight model and finally study of the impact of the threshold non uniformity on the images.The measurements of the performances uniformity of the XAA1.2, of its thermal stability (between –20° C and +40° C) and of the stability toward supply voltage variations are performed using a dedicated acquisition board feeding the chip with a pulse generator contained in the board. From the measurements a variation of the XAA1.2 address signals (used to reconstruct the images of the sources in the Sky) on the 10° C scale is found. The study of the effect of the cosmic rays interaction in the XAA1.2 chip, that is not designed as a radiation hard component for space applications, concerns the latch-up (sudden increase of the supply currents that can damage the chip due to overheating) and the SEU (bit flip in the memory registers with loss of chip configuration) and the effect of the absorbed dose on the linearity and power consumption. The measurements have been performed with ions irradiation (from 16O to 197Au) at the SIRAD facility of the Tandem accelerator in the Laboratori Nazionali INFN in Legnaro near Padova. With different values of LET, a measure of the energy released per unit length by the charged particles in silicon, the latch-up and SEU cross-section values are measured. During the irradiation linearity measurements using the test pulse generator are performed in order to study the total dose effect. Evaluating the ions flux in orbit with the CREME96 code and using an approximated model to take into account the proton spallation, I have found that the expected latch-up and SEU rate in orbit is less than one event during all the AGILE duration and that the total dose effect is negligible.My Ph.D. Thesis contains also the characterization of the SuperAGILE flight model, performed measuring the linearity and the noise of the front-end electronics after the XAA1.2 integration, after the burn-in procedure (by supplying the board in nominal configuration inside an oven at 75° C for 240 hours long) and after the detector integration. From the measurements I have found no performance degradation after the burn-in procedure. After the detector integration the noise in the front-end electronic is about 7.5 keV FWHM while the energy threshold is about 19 keV. The noise in the front-end electronic has been measured also using X-ray sources (241Am, 57Co, 109Cd and Ba fluorescence lines) and the measured values are in good agreement with the test pulse measurements.My Thesis contains also the discussion of the most important topics in the development of data analysis programs. Because of the big number of the SuperAGILE detector pixels, linearity and noise (using both test pulse generator and X-ray sources) need to be estimated automatically, without requiring the user to provide specific parameters. Finally, the Thesis contains an estimate of the threshold non uniformity on SuperAGILE images by means of background detector images generation applying different non uniformity threshold models. By decoding the resulting Sky images I have found that, while the nominal threshold uniformity does not allow to observe faint sources with exposures of order 106 s, the uniformity level obtained with the digital fine threshold equalization (3 bit DAC), allows expose for 106 s long." @default.
