SUMMARY:Speaker: Tom Shutt (SLAC) - Title: GammaTPC: A novel next generation Compton telescope
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: March 21\, 2024 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Tom Shutt (SLAC) \nTitle: GammaTPC: A novel next generation Compton telescope \nAbstract: I will talk about GammaTPC\, a new instrument concept for measuring astrophysical gamma rays in the MeV energy range. This part of the sky is a largely unexplored mostly due to the difficulty of measuring MeV photons\, but the potential payoff is large\, particularly in the upcoming era of multi-messenger transient astrophysics. GammaTPC attacks this difficulty using liquid argon time projection chamber (TPC) technology\, which appears to have important advantages over several other techniques that are being pursued. A core part GammaTPC is GAMPix\, a new charge readout scheme that enables fine grained readout over large area at very low power\, and has other potential applications including neutrino physics. There are a few other amusing challenges to fielding a liquid noble TPC in low Earth orbit. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239
