Abstract
We will report on the equipment and performance of the Xray facility of the University of Ferrara Initially developed to test the PDS Phoswich Detection System instrument aboard the BeppoSAX satellite and to perform reflectivity measurements of mosaic crystal samples of HOPG Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite with time the facility has been improved and its applications extended Now these applications include test and calibration of hard Xray 10 keV detectors reflectivity measurements of hard Xray mirrors reflectivity tests of crystals and Xray transparency measurements The facility is being further improved in order to determine the optical axis mosaic crystals in Laue configuration within a project devoted to develop a hard Xray 60 keV focusing optics Pisa A et al in press Feasibility study of a Laue lens for hard Xrays for space astronomy SPIE Proc 5536
