CMA Successfully designed and fabricated 4 mirrors (830mm X 630mm rectangular) for University of Bristol for the LHCb program at CERN, Geneva . The mirrors were tested for radiation hardness, optical performance, and reflectivity from 280nm to 500nm wavelengths. The resulting mirror figures after coating were between 3 and 5 times better than spec and weighed 5 kg/m 2 areal density.
