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.
