Activities
Ezio Caroli received the degree in Physics at the University of Bologna (Italy) in 1978. In 1982, he joined the Istituto TESRE of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and now belong to the OAS of Bologna, one of the structures of the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF). At the beginning, his scientific activity has been mainly oriented in the development of new instrumentation for hard X and soft gamma ray astronomy and in the study of techniques for high energy imaging using coded aperture. Since fifteen years, his main interest has been concentrated in the study and the development of high performance CdTe/CZT spectro-imagers for high-energy astronomy space mission. In this context, he led different projects and he has dedicated particular effort to study the capabilities of such devices as scattering polarimeters in the 100-1000 keV range. In the last decade he has contribute to the definition of a new concept of high energy telescope based on broad band Laue lens coupled with innovative CZT spectrometer with three dimensional space resolution as focal plane. These activities have recently merged into the ASTENA satellite mission concept, studied in the framework of the H2020/AHEAD project (2015-2018). About 250 papers on international refereed journal and on international conference proceedings demonstrate his scientific activities.
