Abstract:In the context of Laue project for focusing hard X-/ soft gammarays, an entire Laue lens, using bent Ge(111) crystal tiles, with 40 meters curvature radius, is simulated with a focal length of 20 meters. The focusing energy band is between 80 keV and 600 keV. The distortion of the output image of the lens on the focal plane due to the effect of crystal tile misalign.ment as well as the radial distortion arising from the curvature of the crystal is discussed in detail. Expected detection efficiency and instrume… Show more
