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)…
Silicon Pore Optics
Nicolas M. Barrière, Marcos Bavdaz, Maximilien J. Collon +4
Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) uses commercially available monocrystalline double-sided super-polished silicon wafers as a basis to produce mirrors that form lightweight high-resolution…
Profile reconstruction of grazing-incidence X-ray mirrors from intra-focal X-ray full imaging
D. Spiga, S. Basso, M. Bavdaz +11
The optics of a number of future X-ray telescopes will have very long focal lengths (10 - 20 m), and will consist of a number of nested/stacked thin, grazing-incidence mirrors. The…
Evaluation of the surface strength of glass plates shaped by hot slumping process
L. Proserpio, S. Basso, F. Borsa +15
The Hot Slumping Technology is under development by several research groups in the world for the realization of grazing-incidence segmented mirrors for X-ray astronomy, based on th…
