Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Editors: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Takahashi, Tadayuki; Bautz, Marshall | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 9905 | First Page: | 990576 | Abstract: | We use the X-ray ray-tracing package McXtrace to simulate the performance of X-ray telescopes based on Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) technologies. We use as reference the design of the optics of the planned X-ray mission Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics (ATHENA) which is designed as a single X-ray telescope populated with stacked SPO substrates forming mirror modules to focus X-ray photons. We show that is possible to simulate in detail the SPO pores and qualify the use of McXtrace for in-depth analysis of in-orbit performance and laboratory X-ray test results. <P /> | Conference Name: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Conference Place: | Edinburgh, UK | Conference Date: | 26 June-1 July, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24413 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9905/1/Simulating-x-ray-telescopes-with-McXtrace--a-case-study/10.1117/12.2233060.short | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510601895 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.2233060 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016SPIE.9905E..76F | Fulltext: | open |
