Solar X-ray Polarization Detector (SXPD): a solar flare detector based on GMPD
We present the design of a solar flare detector, the Solar X-ray Polarization Detector (SXPD), based on the Gas Microchannel Plate Pixel Detector (GMPD). The primary scientific objectives are to measure the polarization state and spectrum of individual solar flares in the soft X-ray band, where polarized bremsstrahlung...
