Focusing of gamma-rays with Laue lenses: first results (2008)
Frontera, F., Loffredo, G., Pisa, A., Nobili, F., Carassiti, V., Evangelisti, F., ...
We report on the first results obtained from our development project of focusing gamma-rays ($>$60 keV) by using Laue lenses. The first lens prototype model has been assembled and tested. We describe...
Development status of a Laue lens project for gamma-ray astronomy (2007)
Frontera, F., Loffredo, G., Pisa, A., Milani, L., Nobili, F., Auricchio, N., ...
We report the status of the HAXTEL project, devoted to perform a design study and the development of a Laue lens prototype. After a summary of the major results of the design study, the approach...
The gamma-ray burst monitor for Lobster-ISS (2006)
Amati, L., Frontera, F., Auricchio, N., Caroli, E., Basili, A., Bogliolo, A., ...
Lobster-ISS is an X-ray all-sky monitor experiment selected by ESA two years ago for a Phase A study (now almost completed) for a future flight (2009) aboard the Columbus Exposed Payload Facility of...
Exploring the Hard X-/soft gamma-ray Continuum Spectra with Laue Lenses (2005)
Frontera, F., Pisa, A., De Chiara, P., Loffredo, G., Pellicciotta, D., Carassiti, V., ...
The history of X-ray astronomy has shown that any advancement in our knowledge of the X-ray sky is strictly related to an increase in instrument sensitivity. At energies above 60 keV, there are...
