Scientific paper

We present results of a study in multilayer optics for the Hard X-ray component of the Constellation-X Mission, designed to observe X-ray sources at energies of 10 to ~ 80 keV. The Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) will provide high spatial resolution ( ~ 1 arcmin) observations of many perplexing astronomical phenomena, including Active Galactic Nuclei, Supernova Remnants and other high energy objects. Tungsten-Silicon and Carbon-Tungsten multilayers were fabricated at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Multilayer Facility (MLF). Samples were characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and Grazing incidence X-ray Reflectometry. The data obtained were used to assess the quality of the samples.
