Ultracold-neutron infrastructure for the gravitational spectrometer GRANIT

P. Schmidt-Wellenburg, K. H. Andersen, P. Courtois +8

The gravitational spectrometer GRANIT will be set up at the Institut Laue Langevin. It will profit from the high ultracold neutron density produced by a dedicated source. A monochr…

Gamma-ray lens development status for a European Gamma-Ray Imager

F. Frontera, A. Pisa, V. Carassiti +11

A breakthrough in the sensitivity level of the hard X-/gamma-ray telescopes, which today are based on detectors that view the sky through (or not) coded masks, is expected when foc…

Exploring the Hard X-/soft gamma-ray Continuum Spectra with Laue Lenses

F. Frontera, A. Pisa, P. De Chiara +17

The history of X-ray astronomy has shown that any advancement in our knowledge of the X-ray sky is strictly related to an increase in instrument sensitivity. At energies above 60 k…

Feasibility study of a Laue lens for hard X-rays for space astronomy

A. Pisa, F. Frontera, P. De Chiara +8

We report on the feasibility study of a Laue lens for hard X-rays (>60 keV)based on mosaic crystals, for astrophysical applications. In particular we discuss the scientific motivat…
