posted on 2018-05-29, 09:30 authored by P. O'Brien, E. Bozzo, R. Willingale, I. Hutchinson, J. Osborne, L. Amati, D. GötzWe summarize in this contribution the capabilities, design status, and the en- abling technologies of the Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) planned to be on-board the THESEUS mission. We describe its central role in making THESEUS a powerful machine to probe the physical conditions of the early Universe (close to the reionization era) and to explore the time-domain Universe.
