Athena charged particle diverter simulations: effects of micro-roughness on proton scattering using Geant4

Autor: Breuer, Jean-Paul, Galgóczi, Gábor, Fioretti, Valentina, Zlámal, Jakub, Liška, Petr, Werner, Norbert, Santin, Giovanni, Boudin, Nathalie, Ferreira, Ivo, Guainazzi, Matteo, von Kienlin, Andreas, Lotti, Simone, Mineo, Teresa, Molendi, Silvano, Perinati, Emanuele

The last generation of X-ray focusing telescopes operating outside the Earth's radiation belt discovered that optics were able to focus not only astrophysical X-ray photons, but also low-energy heliophysical protons entering the Field of View (FOV).

The Geant4 mass model of the ATHENA Silicon Pore Optics and its effect on soft proton scattering

Autor: Fioretti, Valentina, Bulgarelli, Andrea, Lotti, Simone, Macculi, Claudio, Mineo, Teresa, Piro, Luigi, Bruno, Debora, Cappi, Massimo, Dadina, Mauro

Given the unprecedented effective area, the new ATHENA Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) focusing technology, the dynamic and variable L2 environment, where no X-ray mission has flown up to date, a dedicated Geant4 simulation campaign is needed to evaluate t
