A major goal of the MAX program is to detect and measure gamma rays produced following the nuclear reactions that take place in a supernova explosion. To detect a reasonable number of supernovae, sensitivities of the order of a few times 10-7 γ cm-2

Bulk crystals of Ge 1 - x Si x solid solutions grown by modified Czochralski (CZ) technique were used for the production of the diffraction optics elements of the high-energy γ -ray telescope. The mosaic crystals were grown to improve the diffractio

This paper follows the development of crystal diffraction lenses designed to focus energetic photons. It begins with the search for a solution to the astrophysics problem of how to detect weak astrophysics sources of gamma rays and x-rays. This led t
