Expected performance of a Laue lens based on bent crystals

摘要

In the context of the LAUE project devoted to build a long focal length focusing optics for soft gamma-rayastronomy (70/100 keV to &&600 keV), we present results of simulation of a Laue lens, based on bent crystals indifferent assembling configurations (quasi-mosaic and reflection-like geometries). The main aim is to significantlyovercome the sensitivity limits of the current generation of gamma-ray telescopes and improve the imagingcapability.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
