In the hard X-ray domain, significant progresses in instrumental concepts
and technics - mainly detectors and grazing incidence mirrors - allow to build
a new generation of telescopes.
Simbol-X study, Nustar and Astro-H marked the beginnings of a new instrumental
era that will dramatically renew our view of the hard X-ray sky.
The grazing incidence technique leads to a huge sensitivity improvement,
opening a novel discovery space.

Considering that all the ingredients are gathered to ensure a fruitful
next hard X-ray mission (instrumental gaps and scientific questions to solve),
we propose to
organize a small workshop to be held on 2014 January, 13 and 14 in Paris.
The main goals will be :
- To collect and discuss instrumental concepts together with scientific
questions to be addressed in Hard X-rays.
- To review the programmatic context and prepare future instruments/missions
to be proposed in the framework of M4 Esa next call or other opportunities.
A number of slots are free for participants who wish to present
some technical studies or scientific questions related to the above objectives.
If you wish to give a talk, please, send a title and short (10 lines max) abstract to ejourdain@irap.omp.eu as soon as possible.
No registration fees are required but we need to receive an email with your name and affiliation (to ejourdain@irap.omp.eu) before the January, 6 to help us to optimize the organisation of the workshop.
The organizers: E. Jourdain, J.P. Roques, J. Rodriguez
