  • Esa Standard Document
    Technology Reference Study Final Report GRL The Gamma Ray Lens SCI-A/2005.058/GRL/CB Craig Brown July 2005 s Page 1 of 172 T ECHNOLOGY R EFERENCE S TUDIES The Science Payload and Advanced Concepts Office (SCI-A) at the European Space Agency (ESA) conducts Technology Reference Studies (TRSs), hypothetical science driven missions that are not currently part of the ESA science programme. Most science missions are in many ways very challenging from a technology point of view. It is critical that these technologies are identified as early as possible in order to ensure their development in a timely manner, as well as allowing the feasibility of a mission to be determined. Technology reference studies are used as a means to identify such technology developments. The Technology Reference Study begins by establishing a series of preliminary scientific requirements. From these requirements, a hypothetical mission is designed that is capable of achieving the scientific goals. Critical issues and mission drivers are identified from the new mission concept and, from these drivers, a series of technology development activities are recommended. One such TRS has been conducted on a Gamma Ray Lens (GRL) mission. The GRL is an ideal candidate for a TRS due to the challenging nature of the technologies involved with focusing gamma rays. Identifying the key areas requiring technology development in this field prepares for any future high-energy astrophysics mission that the science community may propose, as well as establishes common technology development requirements possibly shared by different science missions. s page 2 of 172 A BSTRACT This is the final report for the Gamma Ray Lens (GRL) technology reference study performed by SCI-AM.

Wulif ESRF, BP220, Grenoble Cedex, France *To whom correspondence should be addressed +Present address: EMBL/ESRF, Avenue des Martyrs, Grenoble Cedex, France ABSTRACT Time-resolved macromolecular X-ray crystallography is a new capability for structural analysis driven by continuing improvements in synchrotron X-ray sources, optics and detectors (image plates and CCDs). Protein crystal Laue data (stationary crystal and polychromatic X-rays) were recorded at SRS Daresbury station 9.5 and ESRF Grenoble beamline 3, and processed with the Daresbury Laue software package. The Laue method allows exposure times set by the synchrotron electron bunch width, eg. 50 picoseconds. The instruments and methods developments widen opportunities for perturbation chemical crystallography studies too. A temperature depen- dent phase transition of a liquid crystal nickel-octahexylphthalocyanine is studied with a rapid readout CCD detector. Structure solution by molecular replacement methods with Laue data is reported for orthorhombic lysozyme. By use of tetragonal lysozyrne as a test case it is shown that with fine angular intervals, wide total angular coverage of Laue exposures and the deconvolution of multiples, good connectivity of electron density maps can be realised. The monochromatic rotating crystal method offers possibilities of extremely fast rotations which allow a complete data set to be recorded onto a single image -Large-angleoscillation technique (LOT).
