Title: | AHEAD joint research activity on x-ray optics | Authors: | Burwitz, Vadim Willingale, Richard PARESCHI, Giovanni Hudec, René SPIGA, Daniele Pelliciari, Carlo TICHY, VLADIMIR SALMASO, Bianca |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Volume: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Editors: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Nikzad, Shouleh; Nakazawa, Kazuhiro | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10699 | First Page: | 106993T | Abstract: | The progress of X-ray Optics joint research activity of the European Union Horizon 2020 AHEAD project is presented here covering the X-ray optic technologies that are currently being worked on in Europe. These are the Kirkpatrick Baez, lobster eye micropore (SVOM, SMILE), slumped glass, and silicon pore (ATHENA, ARCUS) optics technologies. In this activity detailed comparisons of the measurements, of the different optics produced by the participating optics groups, obtained mainly at the MPEs PANTER X-ray test facility, are compared with simulations. In preparation for the ATHENA mission a study has been made to design the BEaTRiX X-ray test facility for testing individual silicon pore optics mirror modules, and the realization of the facility is now on going. A zone plate collimating optics developed for PANTER is being studied, optimized, and tested at PANTER. This zone plate will be used for characterising a high quality optics module in a parallel beam to verify the BEaTriX performance. Several of the measurements and selected results are presented here. | Acknowledgments: | The work presented in this paper was funded mainly by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Program under the AHEAD project (grant agreement n. 654215). | Conference Name: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Conference Place: | Austin, Texas, United States | Conference Date: | 10-15 June, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30389 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10699/2314109/AHEAD-joint-research-activity-on-x-ray-optics/10.1117/12.2314109.short | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510619517 9781510619524 |
