Further development of Nike X-ray monochromatic imaging system based on spherically bent crystals
Abstract
A high resolution monochromatic X-ray imager (MXRI) was successfully employed in Rayleigh-Taylor experiments with the Nike laser using 6.648 ÅHe-like Si resonance line [1]. We are extending the capability of the MXRI to longer and shorter X-ray wavelengths. This involves exploring alternate matched choices for the imager's spherically bent crystal and the X-ray line. The H-like Mg resonance line (8.421 Åwith the quartz crystal (2d=8.5106 Åis a good longer wavelength match. The Ne-like Nb 2p-3d resonance transition (4.9057 Åand the quartz crystal (2d=4.912 Åmake another match at shorter wavelength. [1] Y. Aglitskiy, et al, Phys. Plasmas 3,3438 (1996), C.
