Hot-Electron Microcalorimeters for X-Ray and Phonon Detection
We propose a novel hot-electron microcalorimeter for measurements of x-rays or phonons produced by the interaction of a high energy particle with the underlying substrate. This type of detector uses a normal metal film to absorb the incoming excitation which subsequently heats the electrons above the lattice temperature. The temperature of the electrons is measured from the current voltage char...
متن کاملFresnel lenses for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
Phase Fresnel lenses have the same imaging properties as zone plates, but with the possibility of concentrating all of the incident power into the primary focus, increasing the maximum theoretical efficiency from 11% to close to 100%. For X-rays, and in particular for gamma-rays, large, diffraction-limited phase Fresnel lenses can be made relatively easily. The focal length is very long for exa...
متن کاملPhase Fresnel Lens Development for X-ray & Gamma-ray Astronomy
Observations in the hard X-ray and gammaray energy regimes are constrained by limited sensitivity and angular resolution. Significant gains could be made if these high-energy photons could be concentrated from a large area onto a small detector element and if diffraction-limited measurements could be obtained. Furthermore, the angular resolution in the gamma-ray band would be superior to that p...
متن کاملX-ray Astronomy of Stellar Coronae ⋆
X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures exceeding 1 million K. Coronae are ubiquitous among these stars, yet many fundamental mechanisms operating in their magnetic fields still elude an interpretation through a detailed physical description. Stellar X-ray astr...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
