Laue Lens Development for Hard X-rays (>60 keV)
D. Pellicciotta, F. Frontera, G. Loffredo +7
Results of reflectivity measurements of mosaic crystal samples of Cu (111) are reported. These tests were performed in the context of a feasibility study of a hard X-ray focusing t…
R&D progress on second-generation crystals for Laue lens applications
N. Barrière, P. von Ballmoos, P. Bastie +11
The concept of a gamma-ray telescope based on a Laue lens offers the possibility to increase the sensitivity by more than an order of magnitude with respect to existing instruments…
Exploring the Hard X-/soft gamma-ray Continuum Spectra with Laue Lenses
F. Frontera, A. Pisa, P. De Chiara +17
The history of X-ray astronomy has shown that any advancement in our knowledge of the X-ray sky is strictly related to an increase in instrument sensitivity. At energies above 60 k…
Polarized 3He as a probe for short-range spin-dependent interactions
A. K. Petukhov, G. Pignol, D. Jullien +1
We have studied the relaxation of a spin-polarized gas in a magnetic field, in the presence of short-range spin-dependent interactions. As a main result we have established a link…
Particle Physics at the European Spallation Source
H. Abele, A. Alekou, A. Algora +176
Presently under construction in Lund, Sweden, the European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the world's brightest neutron source. As such, it has the potential for a particle physic…
Feasibility study of a Laue lens for hard X-rays for space astronomy
A. Pisa, F. Frontera, P. De Chiara +8
We report on the feasibility study of a Laue lens for hard X-rays (>60 keV)based on mosaic crystals, for astrophysical applications. In particular we discuss the scientific motivat…
