摘要：

In addition to high resolving power in the traditional X-ray band,the Constellation-X scientific goals require broad bandpass, with response extending to E greater than or similar to 40 keV. To achieve this objective, Constellation-X will incorporate a hard X-ray telescope (HXT) based on depth graded multilayer-coated grazing incidence optics and position-sensitive solid state detectors, This paper describes the HXT performance requirements, provides an overview of the HXT optics and detector technology development efforts, and presents example designs.
