In the last 25 years, electroforming process has been extensively optimized to produce grazing incidence optics for the X-ray space telescopes, enabling the renown observatories Beppo-SAX for the Italian Space Agency, SWIFT for NASA, XMM Newton for ESA, eROSITA for MPE. These optics are made of thin Nickel mirrors that are grown by electroforming process in an electrolytic bath on a Gold coated mandrel.Electroforming has also been adopted for production of large reflector panels for sub-millimeter radio telescope applications. Between 2006 and 2016, 3000 mirror panels for 25 antennas of the ALMA radio-telescope array of ESO and 1600 mirror panels for the 50-m diameter Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) “Alfonso Serrano” of INAOE were designed, produced and tested.

AbstractLaser plasmas are well-suited to studies of ionic photoabsorption because they can provide highly ionized, low temperature plasmas of high column density, as well as bright, compact continuum X-ray sources which can illuminate the plasma under study. In our experiment, continuum X-rays from a gold laser plasma are partially absorbed as they traverse a carbon plasma and are then dispersed by a grazing incidence reflection grating. An X-ray imaging camera records both the absorbed and unabsorbed spectra simultaneously for later computer analysis to determine the photoabsorption cross sections for each carbon ion species.
