Study of new missions devoted to Gamma Ray Burst Astronomy
Contact Person : Prof. Filippo Frontera (frontera@fe.infn.it)

Abstract: The origin of GRB, their emission mechanisms and their use as rulers for cosmology reuire further experimental efforts. New missions
are requested. Among the proposed,  there is MIRAX. The PhD student will be associated to the MIRAX development, if this mission will be approved.

Feasible science with deep gamma-ray observations from 100 keV to 600 kev and beyond.

Abstract: The development of Laue lenses for gamma-rays is at an advanced stage of development in our institute. With Laue lenses a
sensitivity 2 orders of magnitude better than that achieved thus far is expected. The PhD thesis would concern the science cases that could be faced with astronomical observations in the Laue lens passband. The expectations should be quantitatively investigated.
