Abstract
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a space mission launched on 9 December 2021 (collaboration NASA and ASI) to measure the linear polarization of different astrophysical sources over the photon energy range 2-8 keV. The heart of IXPE Detector Unit, and of future polarization-aimed missions, is the Gas Pixel Detector. These detectors can be calibrated and characterized using the X-ray Calibration Facility, XCF, available at the Physics Department of the University of Torino. The XCF allows us to study X-rays at different energies with different spatial and polarization configurations. Initially conceived as a calibration source to qualify Gas Pixel Detectors, the XCF will support R&D programs of innovative position- energy- and polarization-sensitive X-ray detectors.
