The high energy optics software simulates X and gamma-ray imaging systems based on grazing incidence scattering using the Monte Carlo technique. The software offers control of the surface properties and scattering processes at each ...
The XRI is an X-Ray interferometer under development, capable of detecting angular differences as small as 1 millionth of a arcsecond.
This technology is based on the Silicon Pore Optics and is created in cooperation with the Leicester university as an additional configuration for (space ...
It is very difficult to reflect hard X-rays and gamma rays with a mirror as they pass through most materials, but they can be diffracted by crystal planes. A so-called Laue lens uses crystals that are arranged to form a lens. However, if you use regular crystals with flat crystal planes, the ...
cosine is developing and producing the mirror modules for Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics), the X-ray observatory mission selected by ESA, within its Cosmic Vision program, to address the Hot and Energetic Universe scientific theme. Athena will be the largest X-ray ...
