The transfer channel design can be tailored to minimize interaction with traps, and the faster readout rate may improve the charge transfer performance in the presence of traps One may speculate that future developments may include the fabrication of devices with very small pixels to allow the possibility of observing polarization effects: At energies higher than ~20 keV, the anisotropy of ...

... Head of the seminar: Prof. B.V. Somov, . ... The seminar considers the questions related to generation of magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas, effect of the magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration in strong magnetic fields, the origin and propagation of cosmic rays, the flares and other non-stationary phenomena in the solar atmosphere and solar wind, Sun Earth connections and physical processes in the heliosphere. ... On the Topological Models and Topological Trigger of the Solar Flares...

I was born on April 12, 1958, in Moscow, USSR, and I have a Russian nationality. I graduated the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1981, obtained there my Ph.D.degree in 1984 (the topic of the dissertation: "Stellar populations and evolution of galaxies") and a degree of Doctor of Physical-Mathematical Sciences in 1994 (the dissertation "Stellar population of galactic nuclei"). Since 1984 I hold a permanent position at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Moscow). ...
