Scientific paper

The Extreme Physics Explorer (EPE) is a concept timing/spectroscopy mission
that would use micro-channel plate optics (MCPO) to provide 4 square meters
effective area focused to ~1 arc-min onto an X-ray calorimeter. We describe
science drivers for such a mission, possible designs for the large area MCPO
needed for EPE, and the challenges of the large area MCPO design.
