Abstract

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P) is a probe-class mission concept that combines high spatial resolution x-ray imaging and broad spectral coverage to enable revolutionary new insights into the important astrophysical questions of the next decade. HEX-P will fly a complement of two Hard Energy Mirror Assemblies (HEMA) and one Low Energy Mirror Assembly (LEMA), all of which will have a focal length of 20 meter. Ir/C has been chosen as the baseline coating for the LEMA, and a combination of Pt/C and W/Si multilayers for the HEMA. We present here the mirror design, optimization of coating recipes, and estimated performance.
