Scientific paper

A thin foil reflector X-ray telescope was proposed for a high throughput spectroscopic satellite (XMM). A prototype of a single quadrant was built and the precision of test mirrors is being measured. Three types of foils are studied: rolled aluminum, electroformed Ni, and carbon fiber reinforced epoxy. Evaluation of the performance based on measurements by ray tracing gives a half energy width = 5.4', but improvements are possible.
