An evaluation of gallium arsenide for detector applications in X-ray astronomy

Forthcoming, imaging X-ray telescopes cannot detect photons with energies above ~10KeV due to the limitations of current optics and silicon detectors. However, there are known to be X-ray emissions at higher energies from neutron stars, pulsars, black hole candidates, supernova remnants, active gala...
