Optical Elements for Hard X-ray Radiation
PhD defence by Anette Jensen, Nano-Science Center and Niels Bohr Institute.
Abstract
In this presentation I will describe the development and
characterization of an optical element for the next-generation x-ray
source the Compact Light Source (CLS). The CLS is a miniature
synchrotron light source recently developed by the company
LynceanTechnologies Inc. At present it is expected that this powerful
x-ray machine will be installed at the University of Copenhagen during
the year 2009. The development of the optical element is the result of
a collaboration between the Nano-Science Center at the University of
Copenhagen, the Danish National Space Center, the Danish company
JJ-XRAY A/S and Lyncean Technologies Inc. The optical element is based
upon two multi-layer mirrors positioned in a classic Kirkpatrick-Baez
geometry. The curvature of the mirrors is not fixed, rather each mirror
is mounted in a mirror bender which precisely controls the deflection
of the mirror. Step by step I will describe and explain the development
and the characterization of this optical element.
After the defence there will be a reception in D203 on second floor of
the D-building (HCØ). Everybody is welcome!
