Scientific paper

We will report on the equipment and performance of the X-ray facility of the University of Ferrara. Initially developed to test the PDS (Phoswich Detection System) instrument aboard the BeppoSAX satellite and to perform reflectivity measurements of mosaic crystal samples of HOPG (Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite), with time the facility has been improved and its applications extended. Now these applications include test and calibration of hard X-ray (> 10 keV) detectors, reflectivity measurements of hard X-ray mirrors, reflectivity tests of crystals and X-ray transparency measurements. The facility is being further improved in order to determine the optical axis mosaic crystals in Laue configuration within a project devoted to develop a hard X-ray (> 60 keV) focusing optics (Pisa, A. et al.: in press, Feasibility study of a Laue lens for hard X-rays for space astronomy, SPIE Proc., 5536).
