NSLS-II Seminar

"Next generation optics for high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering: Principles, challenges, and progress"

Presented by Yuri Shvyd'ko, Argonne National Laboratory, Advanced Photon Source

Thursday, January 6, 2011, 2:30 pm — NSLS-II Seminar Room, Bldg. 817

Principles and optical schemes of angular-dispersive backscattering monochromators and analyzers will be presented. The novel x-ray optics has a potential of achieving sub-meV energy resolution, spectral functions with sharper tails, and better momentum transfer resolution in inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) experiments, as compared to the state of the art IXS optics.

Optical and mechanical designs of the in-line angular-dispersive backscattering monochromators/analyzers, termed CDDW, will be introduced.

Results of the first tests, at the APS, of the CDDW monochromators for 9.1 keV x-rays will be presented, in which a 0.4 meV resolution, and 16% average spectral efficiency have been demonstrated.
