This is a Co-I proposal in support of the PI lead proposal entitled "The GAPS experiment: a search for dark matter using low energy antiprotons and antideuterons" submitted by Prof. Charles Hailey, Columbia University. Our proposed program would support the Umiversity of Hawaii at Manoa tasks on the GAPS experiment as detailed in our task statement. The primary focus of this work is the calibration and test of the Si(Li) detector modules, instrument simulation and support of the flight program and scientific analysis.
More »The Astrophysics Research and Analysis program (APRA) supports suborbital and suborbital-class investigations, development of detectors and supporting technology, laboratory astrophysics, and limited ground based observing. Basic research proposals in these areas are solicited for investigations that are relevant to NASA's programs in astronomy and astrophysics, including the entire range of photons, gravitational waves, and particle astrophysics. The emphasis of this solicitation is on technologies and investigations that advance NASA astrophysics missions and goals.
