Abstract
The Burst and All Sky Imaging Survey (BASIS) is a proposed mission to provide ≈3 arc second locations of approximately 90 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) per year. The BASIS coded aperture imaging system requires a segmented detector plane able to detect the interaction position of (10–150 keV) photons to less than 100 μm. To develop prototype detector arrays with such fine position resolution we have fabricated many 15 mm × 15 mm × 2 mm 100 μm pitch CdZnTe strip detectors. We have assembled these fine pitch CdZnTe strip detectors into prototype 2 × 2 and 6 × 6 element arrays read out by ASIC electronics. The assembly and electronics readout of the 6 × 6 flight prototype array will be discussed, and preliminary data illustrating the uniformity and efficiency of the array will be presented.
