SUMMARY:X-Ray Telescopes - Optics design and technology - Dick Willingale 
 (Leicester)  
DTSTART:20140123T163000Z

CONTACT:Simon Hodgkin
DESCRIPTION:*ABSTRACT*\n\nI shall describe the basic physical and geometri
 cal principles available for the design and construction of X-ray telescop
 es and show how these\nhave been used in producing existing X-ray telescop
 es like XMM-Newton and the Chandra Observatory. I'll then consider the new
  technologies being developed for the next generation of X-ray telescopes 
 which we hope will move X-ray astronomy in to a new era. Finally\, if time
  permits\, I'll consider how we might develop new technologies to exploit 
 the true potential of X-rays working at the diffraction limit.
