HIREGS

The HIgh REsolution Gamma-ray and hard x-ray Spectrometer (HIREGS) is designed to detect photons from 20 keV to 18 MeV with an energy resolution of 1.5 to several keV, and photons up to ~160 MeV with ~0.5 MeV resolution. The instrument has been on three Antarctic Campaigns to take spectra of Solar Flares and the Galactic Center. The project is a joint effort between the UC San Diego and UC Berkeley. The San Diego PI is Mike Pelling.

There is lots of cool stuff about HIREGS at the Berkeley HIREGS Homepage. or take a look at the HIREGS instrument and a picture of our launch.
Meet the people involved with HIREGS or read a Scientific Description of the instrument written by Steve Boggs and Paul Feffer.
