A Calorimeter for the Space Station
Abstract
It is proposed that one instrument for the Space Station should be an electromagnetic calorimeter with very high spatial resolution. Such an instrument could locate very-high-energy gamma-ray/electron-positron sources with high angular resolution. It could also serve to search for monoenergetic gamma-rays from neutron stars and also for quark matter.
