The Scientific Performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM Mission
D. Gotz, M. Boutelier, V. Burwitz +17
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will be the first focusing X-ray telescope based on a "Lobster-Eye" optical design to be flown on Sino-French mission SVOM. SVOM will be dedi…
Fast-neutron induced background in LaBr3:Ce detectors
J. Kiener, V. Tatischeff, I. Deloncle +17
The response of a scintillation detector with a cylindrical 1.5-inch LaBr3:Ce crystal to incident neutrons has been measured in the energy range En = 2-12 MeV. Neutrons were produc…
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope on Board the SVOM Satellite
D. Gotz, C. Adami, S. Basa +18
We present the Micro-channel X-ray Telescope (MXT), a new narrow-field (about 1°) telescope that will be flying on the Sino-French SVOM mission dedicated to Gamma-Ray Burst science…
Hard X-ray polarimetry with Caliste, a high performance CdTe based imaging spectrometer
S. Antier, P. Ferrando, O. Limousin +11
Since the initial exploration of soft gamma-ray sky in the 60's, high-energy celestial sources have been mainly characterized through imaging, spectroscopy and timing analysis. Des…
The COSPIX mission: focusing on the energetic and obscured Universe
P. Ferrando, A. Goldwurm, P. Laurent +57
Tracing the formation and evolution of all supermassive black holes, including the obscured ones, understanding how black holes influence their surroundings and how matter behaves…
Progress and Validation of Geant4 Based Radioactive Decay Simulation Using the Examples of Simbol-X and IXO
S. Hauf, M. Kuster, M. G. Pia +10
The anticipated high sensitivity and the science goals of the next generation X-ray space missions, like the International X-ray Observatory or Simbol-X, rely on a low instrumental…
