Abstract |
Within the context of the European project AHEAD, a new concept of high energy mission named ASTENA (Advanced Surveyor of Transient Events and Nuclear Astrophysics) is being performed. The mission includes a large array of broad band (1-20 MeV) Wide Field Monitors with imaging and spectroscopy capabilities (WFM-IS), and a large effective area broad-band (50-700 keV) Narrow Field Telescope (NFT) with focusing capabilities based on the use of an advanced Laue lens with unprecedented sensitivity. ASTENA is expected to be a real breakthrough in the gamma-ray energy band, opening a new window in high energy astrophysics. The development status of the mission concept and of the instrumentation on board will be reported. |
