GAPS ConceptGAPS consists of two detectors (acceptance ~2.7 m2sr):

Si(Li) Detector (target and tracker): Si(Li) tracker:13 layers of Si(Li) wafers relatively low Z material good X-ray resolution circular modules segmented into 8 strips

3D particle tracking 270 per layer (total: ~3500) timing: ~50 ns dual channel electronics

5-200 keV: X-rays (resolution:~2 keV)0.1-200 MeV: charged particle

Time of flight and anticoincidence shield:

plastic scintillator with PMTs surrounds tracker

track charged particles, dE/dX velocity measurement anticoincidence for charged particles
