The MPE X-ray test facility PANTER: Calibration of hard X-ray (15–50 kev) optics
Michael Freyberg,Heinrich Bräuninger,Wolfgang Burkert,Gisela Hartner,Oberto Citterio,F. Mazzoleni,G. Pareschi,Daniele Spiga,Suzanne Romaine,Paul Gorenstein,Brian D. Ramsey +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of the energy range, enabling calibrations of hard X-ray optics over a broad energy band beam (up to 50 keV), was reported.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Suzanne Romaine,S. Basso,R. Bruni,Wolfgang Burkert,Oberto Citterio,V. Cotroneo,Darell Engelhaupt,Michael Freyberg,Paul Gorenstein,Mikhail V. Gubarev,Gisela Hartner,Francesco Mazzoleni,Steve O'Dell,G. Pareschi,Brian D. Ramsey,Chet O. Speegle,Daniele Spiga +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype Eletroformed-Nickel-Replicated (ENR) mirror module is presented for the Constellation-X mission, which consists of 5 shells of diameters from 150 mm to 280 mm and of 426 mm total length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-short-period WC/SiC multilayer coatings for x-ray applications
Mónica Fernández-Perea,M. J. Pivovaroff,Regina Soufli,Jennifer B. Alameda,Paul B. Mirkarimi,Marie-Anne Descalle,Sherry L. Baker,T. McCarville,Klaus P. Ziock,D. Hornback,Suzanne Romaine,Ric Bruni,Zhong Zhong,Veijo Honkimäki,Eric Ziegler,Finn Erland Christensen,Anders Clemen Jakobsen +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed multilayers with ultra-short periods between 1 and 2 nm based on the material system WC/SiC. This material system was selected because it possesses very sharp and stable interfaces.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Simbol-X Hard X-ray Focusing Mirrors: Results Obtained During the Phase A Study
Gianpiero Tagliaferri,Stefano Basso,G. Borghi,Wolfgang Burkert,Oberto Citterio,M. Civitani,Paolo Conconi,Vincenzo Cotroneo,Michael Freyberg,Denis Garoli,Paul Gorenstein,Gisela Hartner,V. Mattarello,A. Orlandi,Giovanni Pareschi,Suzanne Romaine,Daniele Spiga,Giuseppe Valsecchi,D. Vernani +18 more
TL;DR: Simbol-X as discussed by the authors is a mirror module of 100 electroformed Nickel shells with a multilayer reflecting coating with the goal of achieving an HEW better than 20 arcsec from 0.5 up to 30 keV and a goal of 40 arcsec at 60 keV.
