Abstract

Within the context of the European project AHEAD, the study of a new concept of high energy mission named ASTENA (Advanced Surveyor of Transient Events and Nuclear Astrophysics) has been started. The mission includes a set of broad band (2 keV–20 MeV) Wide Field Monitors with imaging, spectroscopy and polarimetric capabilities (WFM-IS), and a large effective area broad-band (50–600 keV) Narrow Field Telescope (NFT) with focusing capabilities based on the use of an advanced Laue lens with unprecedented imaging, spectroscopy and polarimetric sensitivity. ASTENA is expected to be a real breakthrough in the gamma-ray energy band, opening a new window in high energy astrophysics. A short description
of the mission concept is reported.
