摘要
We report our examination of a new X-ray interferometer for observation of celestial objects and our recent work for preparation of laboratory experiments. The new X-ray interferometer is consisting of two flat mirrors and one flat beam splitter which are used as grazing incident optics. The aimed wave length is a O-K band or a C-K band. The beam splitter and the mirrors are fabricated by Mo/Si multilayer. We measured their flatness and found that the measured flatness is acceptable for the test experiment. A pin hole X-ray source is also preparing for a laboratory experiment in order to demonstrate a X-ray interference. We investigated a possible observation of accretion disks around BHs and nearby stars. With a reasonable size of the base line, we can measure their size and possibly we can obtain an evidence of a black hole shadow.
