Scientific paper

We discuss a hard x-ray telescope for the range 25 70 keV based on a one-dimensional lobster-eye telescope and x-ray supermirror coatings. This approach enables wide field-of-view imaging. A telescope suitable for a large balloon payload, with a 50×100 cm frontal area, could have an effective area of 50 100 cm2 and a 100×100 field of view, and thereby detect AGN that are 0.5 milliCrab in the soft x-rays in a 104 second exposure. 29% of the sky could be surveyed to this limit in a 2-week balloon flight, reaching 6 times fainter than the HEAO A-4 all-sky survey.
