Design and optimisation of thin foil X-ray telescopes
In this thesis the use of thin foil conical profile X-ray mirrors for high energy, large aperture, and lightweight telescopes is investigated. The telescope performance is studied using analytical solutions and ray tracing simulations. Expressions for the number of mirrors in a module, the collectin...
