Expected performances of a Laue lens made with bent crystals
E. Virgilli, V. Valsan, F. Frontera +3
In the context of the LAUE project devoted to build a Laue lens prototype for focusing celestial hard X-/soft gamma-rays, a Laue lens made of bent crystal tiles, with 20 m focal le…
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…
Results of the simulations of the petal/lens as part of the LAUE project
Vineeth Valsan, Filippo Frontera, Enrico Virgilli +3
In the context of the LAUE project for focusing hard X-/gamma rays, a petal of the complete lens is being assembled at the LARIX facility in the Department of Physics and Earth Sci…
Characterization of bent crystals for Laue lenses
V. Liccardo, E. Virgilli, F. Frontera +1
In the context of the LAUE project devoted to build a long focal-length focusing optics for soft -ray astronomy (80 - 600 keV), we present the results of reflectivity measuremen…
Expected performance of a Laue lens based on bent crystals
Vineeth Valsan, Filippo Frontera, Enrico Virgilli +1
In the context of the LAUE project devoted to build a long focal length focusing optics for soft gamma-ray astronomy (70/100 keV to 600 keV), we present results of simulation of…
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…
Laue lenses for hard X-/soft Gamma-rays: new prototype results
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, V. Valsan +4
We present the results obtained with the new Laue lens prototype built in the LARIX facility in the Physics Department of University of Ferrara. Following the results of the first…
The LAUE project for broadband gamma-ray focusing lenses
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, V. Valsan +9
We present the LAUE project devoted to develop an advanced technology for building a high focal length Laue lens for soft gamma--ray astronomy (80-600 keV). The final goal is to de…
