A benign, low Z electron capture agent for negative ion TPCs (2009)
Martoff, C. J., Dion, M. P., Hosack, M., Barton, D., Black, J. K.
We have identified nitromethane (CH$_3$NO$_2$) as an effective electron capture agent for negative ion TPCs (NITPCs). We present drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion measurements for negative...

POET: POlarimeters for Energetic Transients (2008)
Hill, J. E., McConnell, M. L., Bloser, P., Legere, J., Macri, J., Ryan, J., ...
POET (Polarimeters for Energetic Transients) is a Small Explorer mission concept proposed to NASA in January 2008. The principal scientific goal of POET is to measure GRB polarization between 2 and...
The imaging X-ray detector for Lobster-ISS (2003)
Black, J. K., Brunton, A. N., Bannister, N. P., Deines-Jones, P., Jahoda, K.
Lobster-ISS is a revolutionary astrophysical X-ray all-sky monitor scheduled for deployment as an attached payload on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2009. Using a new wide field-of-view...
X-ray polarimetry with an active-matrix pixel proportional counter (2003)
Black, J. K., Deines-Jones, P., Ready, S. E., Street, R. A.
We report the first results from an X-ray polarimeter with a micropattern gas proportional counter using an amorphous silicon active matrix readout. With 100% polarized X-rays at 4.5 keV, we obtain a...
