Characterization Of Shaped Bragg Crystal Assemblies For Narrowband X-Ray Imaging
REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS(2018)
Abstract
X-ray imaging using shaped crystals in Bragg reflection is a powerful technique used in high-energydensity physics experiments. The characterization of these crystal assemblies with conventional x-ray sources is very difficult because of the required angular resolution of the order of similar to 10 mu rad and the narrow bandwidth of the crystal. The 10-J, 1-ps Multi-Terawatt (MTW) laser at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics was used to characterize a set of Bragg crystal assemblies. The small spot size (of the order of 5 mu m) and the high power (> 1018 W/cm(2)) of this laser make it possible to measure the spatial resolution at the intended photon energy. A set of six crystals from two different vendors was checked on MTW, showing an unexpectedly large variation in spatial resolution of up to a factor of 4. Published by AIP Publishing.
