High Energy Collimating Fine Grids for Hesp Program

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

There is a need to develop fine pitch x-ray collimator grids as an enabling technology for planned future missions. The grids consist of an array of thin parallel strips of x-ray absorbing material, such as tungsten, with pitches ranging from 34 microns to 2.036 millimeters. The grids are the key components of a new class of spaceborne instruments known as 'x-ray modulation collimators.' These instruments are the first to produce images of celestial sources in the hard x-ray and gamma-ray spectral regions. Eberhard, Carol D. and Frazier, Edward Unspecified Center NAS5-32529...
