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…
The gamma-ray burst monitor for Lobster-ISS
L. Amati, F. Frontera, N. Auricchio +14
Lobster-ISS is an X-ray all-sky monitor experiment selected by ESA two years ago for a Phase A study (now almost completed) for a future flight (2009) aboard the Columbus Exposed P…
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…
