Current status of the ComPair silicon tracker
2020
AMEGO is a combined Compton and pair-production telescope designed to survey the sky from ∼ 200 keV to > 10 GeV. The prototype, known as ComPair, will undergo beam tests in 2021 and a short-duration balloon flight the following year. The ComPair tracker is based on ten layers of 10 cm × 10 cm double-sided silicon detectors read out with a custom front-end based on the IDEAS VATA460 ASIC and a Zynq SoC ARM+FPGA running petalinux. In this contribution, we will discuss detector and ASIC characterization, calibration systems, and the overall design of the ComPair silicon tracker.
