Recent developments in Laue lens manufacturing and their impact on imaging performance
Lisa Ferro, Enrico Virgilli, Natalia Auricchio +9
We report on recent progress in the development of Laue lenses for applications in hard X/soft gamma-ray astronomy. Here we focus on the realization of a sector of such a lens made…
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…
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…
An expanded X-ray beam facility (BEaTriX) to test the modular elements of the ATHENA optics
D. Spiga, C. Pelliciari, E. Bonnini +4
Future large X-ray observatories like ATHENA will be equipped with very large optics, obtained by assembling modular optical elements, named X-ray Optical Units (XOU) based on the…
Characterization of multilayer stack parameters from X-ray reflectivity data using the PPM program: measurements and comparison with TEM results
D. Spiga, A. Mirone, G. Pareschi +6
Future hard (10 -100 keV) X-ray telescopes (SIMBOL-X, Con-X, HEXIT-SAT, XEUS) will implement focusing optics with multilayer coatings: in view of the production of these optics we…
The LAUE project and its main results
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, V. Valsan +24
We will describe the LAUE project, supported by the Italian Space Agency, whose aim is to demonstrate the capability to build a focusing optics in the hard X-/soft gamma-ray domain…
