R&D progress on second-generation crystals for Laue lens applications
N. Barrière, P. von Ballmoos, P. Bastie +11
The concept of a gamma-ray telescope based on a Laue lens offers the possibility to increase the sensitivity by more than an order of magnitude with respect to existing instruments…
Focusing of gamma-rays with Laue lenses: first results
F. Frontera, G. Loffredo, A. Pisa +12
We report on the first results obtained from our development project of focusing gamma-rays (60 keV) by using Laue lenses. The first lens prototype model has been assembled and…
Development status of a Laue lens project for gamma-ray astronomy
F. Frontera, G. Loffredo, A. Pisa +17
We report the status of the HAXTEL project, devoted to perform a design study and the development of a Laue lens prototype. After a summary of the major results of the design study…
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…
Laue Lens Development for Hard X-rays (>60 keV)
D. Pellicciotta, F. Frontera, G. Loffredo +7
Results of reflectivity measurements of mosaic crystal samples of Cu (111) are reported. These tests were performed in the context of a feasibility study of a hard X-ray focusing t…
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…
