Abstract | The low-energy γ-ray (0.1-30 MeV) sky has been relatively unexplored since the decommissioning of the COMPTEL instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite in 2000. However, the study of this part of the energy spectrum (the “MeV gap”) is crucial for addressing numerous unresolved questions in high-energy and multi-messenger astrophysics. Although several large MeV γ-ray missions like AMEGO and e-ASTROGAM are being proposed, they are predominantly in the developmental phase, with launches not anticipated until the next decade at the earliest. In recent times, there has been a surge in proposed CubeSat missions as cost-effective and rapidly implementable “pathfinder” alternatives. A MeV CubeSat dedicated to γ-ray astronomy has the potential to serve as a demonstrator for future, larger-scale MeV payloads. This paper presents a γ-ray payload design featuring a CdZnTe crystal calorimeter module developed by IDEAS. We report the detailed results of simulations to assess the performance of this proposed payload and compare it with those of previous γ-ray instruments. |
