Scientific paper

The sensitivity limits of hard X-ray detectors of the current generation are reviewed and the need for a new generation of instruments based on photon concentration is justified. A hard X-ray concentrator based on Bragg diffraction technique is proposed. Such an instrument has been simulated with Monte Carlo methods and the expected performances of a particular configuration are evaluated. The proposed instrument concept is shown to be very promising in the energy range from 10 keV up to about 80 keV.
