Abstract

We discuss necessary improvements and further studies relevant to the design and eventual implementation of an accurately modeled multilayer coated X-ray optic operating in the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray regime. The process improvements are substantiated through lessons learnt from NuSTAR.
