Description
Introduzione
ATHENA is an ESA mission. Within the ATHENA consortium, INAF-OAB works on the X-ray characterization; to this end, in the Merate seat we have realized BEaTriX, a world-unique X-ray calibration facility. BEaTriX generates a wide, parallel and monochromatic beam within a small lab, allowing us to directly measure the focusing accuracy of the SPO modules at their production rate.
For details about the facility, please refer to the WEB page: la facility BEaTrix.
Tesi – The graduate student shall study an optical system that couples the X-ray beam to a CCD camera, reducing its dimensions in order to create the image of the entire beam on the sensor and thus allow the optimization of the alignment setup.
