Development of a Monochromator System

for the X-ray Astronomy Calibration and Testing (XACT) Facility


XACT Facility

The X ray source is a multi-anode system able to mounting up to 6 anodes and 4 filters.Flux = 105 ph/s/cm2 @ 16 meters.

Energy range: 0.1 - 20 keV: Cu(0.93; 8.04), Fe(6.4), Cr(5.41), Ti(4.51), Al(1.49), C (0.28) …

What I am doingMonochromator system for

XACT facility

•The system will provide a monochromatic beam in the full energy range: 0.1 - 20 keV;

•Energy resolution: E / E = 10% ;

•Fixed position of the monochromatic beam at all energies;

•It is based on double Bragg diffraction;

•Beam section: 60 x 60 cm2 @ 20 meters;

•We plane to mount the system soon and to run the first tests in January 2005.

CEA/SAp-calorimeter array development

for X-ray astronomyPhilosophy: realisation of a -calorimeter from the modification of existing bolometer arrays for IR instruments.

Advantages: tested standard collective silicon technologies.

The sensor will be adapted increasing the implanted dose (Phosphorus, 40% Boron compensation) from 1-10 G @ 300 mK° to 1-10 M @ 50-100 mK°.

Absorber candidate: Tantalum.

Indium bump hybridization process allows a self alignment between the absorbers and the sensors.

The mobility of the researchers can give the opportunity to establish fruitful international contacts and collaborations. Some examples in my experience:

Symbol X: CEA/SAp, Saclay, Paris (H.E. detector) – Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Milano, Italy (X ray optics);

Bolometers: CEA/SAp, Saclay, Paris (micro calorimeter technology) – INAF/Osservatorio Astronomico G.S. Vaiana, Palermo, Italy (absorber tests and modeling);

Fixed Exit Beam Monochromator: CEA/SAp, Saclay, Paris (experience in monochromator elements) - INAF/Osservatorio Astronomico G.S. Vaiana, Palermo, Italy (Monochromator design and construction);
