A Study of Background Conditions for Sphinx—The Satellite-Borne Gamma-Ray Burst Polarimeter
SPHiNX is a proposed satellite-borne gamma-ray burst polarimeter operating in the energy range 50–500 keV. The mission aims to probe the fundamental mechanism responsible for gamma-ray burst prompt emission through polarisation measurements. Optimising the signal-to-background ratio for SP...
