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…
Scientific prospects in soft gamma-ray astronomy enabled by the LAUE project
F. Frontera, E. Virgilli, V. Valsan +24
This paper summarizes the development of a successful project, LAUE, supported by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and devoted to the development of long focal length (up to 100 m) L…
Bent crystal selection and assembling for the LAUE project
Vincenzo Liccardo, Enrico Virgilli, Filippo Frontera +3
For the first time, with the Laue project, bent crystals are being used for focusing photons in the 80-300 keV energy range. The advantage is their high reflectivity and better Poi…
Development status of the LAUE project
F. Frontera, E. Virgilli, V. Liccardo +18
We present the status of LAUE, a project supported by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and devoted to develop Laue lenses with long focal length (up to 100 meters), for hard X--/sof…
