First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
Design and advancement status of the Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX)
D. Spiga, C. Pelliciari, B. Salmaso +10
The BEaTriX (Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility) project is an X-ray apparatus under construction at INAF/OAB to generate a broad (200 x 60 mm2), uniform and low-divergent X-ray…

The CTA Consortium, :, A. Abchiche +1387
List of contributions from the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Consortium presented at the 6th International Symposium on High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (Gamma 2016), July 11-15,…
BEaTriX, expanded X-ray beam facility for testing modular elements of telescope optics: an update
Carlo Pelliciari, Daniele Spiga, Elisa Bonnini +4
We present in this paper an update on the design of BEaTriX (Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility), an X-ray apparatus to be realized at INAF/OAB and that will generate an expanded…
Analytical computation of stray light in nested mirror modules for X-ray telescopes
Daniele Spiga
Stray light in X-ray telescopes is a well-known issue. Unlike rays focused via a double reflection by usual grazing-incidence geometries such as the Wolter-I, stray rays coming fro…
Monte Carlo simulations of soft proton flares: testing the physics with XMM-Newton
Valentina Fioretti, Andrea Bulgarelli, Giuseppe Malaguti +2
Low energy protons (<100-300 keV) in the Van Allen belt and the outer regions can enter the field of view of X-ray focusing telescopes, interact with the Wolter-I optics, and reach…
