AbstractThe use of the Moon as site for deep observations of astrophysical sources in hard X-rays (>10 keV) is very exciting, in spite of several technological problems to be solved. A strong limitation to the sensitivity of hard X-ray experiments is imposed by the use of direct-viewing (with or without masks) detectors. We propose a lunar hard X-ray observatory, LHEXO, that makes use of a hard X-ray concentrator which is based on the use of confocal paraboloidal mirrors made of mosaic crystals of graphite (002). In this paper we describe telescope concept and its expected performances.
