[XOPT5-04] Analytical and Simulation investigation of scattering effects induced by surface defects on X-ray mirrors

*Lorenzo Raimondi¹, Matteo Altissimo¹ (1. Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste)

This work discusses the degradation of the PSF due to the scattering induced by mirror surface defects in grazing incidence geometry, from Extreme Ultra Violet to Hard X-ray photon energies. The issue is discussed by comparing a first-order scattering theoretical approach and simulations performed with the main optical simulators present in the Oasys framework.
