Gamma-ray burst detection with the AGILE mini-calorimeter (2008)
Marisaldi, M., Labanti, C., Fuschino, F., Galli, M., Argan, A., Barbiellini, G., ...
The Mini-Calorimeter (MCAL) instrument on-board the AGILE satellite is a non-imaging gamma-ray scintillation detector sensitive in the 300keV-100MeV energy range with a total on-axis geometrical area...
Chen, A. W., D'Ammando, F., Villata, M., Raiteri, C. M., Tavani, M., Vittorini, V., ...
We report the gamma-ray activity from the intermediate BL Lac S5 0716+714 during observations acquired by the AGILE satellite in September and October 2007. These detections of activity were...
Natalucci, L., Feroci, M., Quadrini, E., Ubertini, P., Piro, L., Herder, J. W. Den, ...
The success of the SWIFT/BAT and INTEGRAL missions has definitely opened a new window for follow-up and deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky. This now appears as the access key to important...

This Conference is the fifth of a series of Workshops on High Energy Gamma- ray Experiments, following the Conferences held in Perugia 2003, Bari 2004, Cividale del Friuli 2005, Elba Island 2006....
Low energy polarization sensitivity of the Gas Pixel Detector (2007)
Muleri, F., Soffitta, P., Baldini, L., Bellazzini, R., Bregeon, J., Brez, A., ...
An X-ray photoelectric polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector has been proposed to be included in many upcoming space missions to fill the gap of about 30 years from the first (and to date only)...
SuperAGILE: the hard X-ray Imager for the AGILE space mission (2007)
Feroci, M., Costa, E., Soffitta, P., Del Monte, E., Di Persio, G., Donnarumma, I., ...
SuperAGILE is a coded mask experiment based on silicon microstrip detectors. It operates in the 15-45 keV nominal energy range, providing crossed one-dimensional images of the X-ray sky with an...
Fragmentation studies of high energy ions using CR39 nuclear track detectors (2006)
Togo, V., Balestra, S., Cecchini, S., Di Ferdinando, D., Frutti, M., Giacomelli, G., ...
We report on the measurements of the total charge changing fragmentation cross sections in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using Fe, Si and Pb incident ions. Several stacks of CR39 nuclear...
Search for Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles and Nuclearites with the SLIM experiment (2005)
Cecchini, S., Chiarusi, T., Di Ferdinando, D., Cozzi, M., Frutti, M., Giacomelli, G., ...
SLIM is a large area experiment (440 m2) installed at the Chacaltaya cosmic ray laboratory since 2001, and about 100 m2 at Koksil, Himalaya, since 2003. It is devoted to the search for intermediate...
Calibration of the Makrofol Nuclear Track Detector using Relativistic Lead Ions (2005)
Cecchini, S., Chiarusi, T., Cozzi, M., Di Ferdinando, D., Frutti, M., Giacomelli, G., ...
We present the calibration of the Makrofol nuclear detector using Pb ions of 158 AGeV.
