Energy Range Mono Crystal or Grating Resolution (ΔE/E) Flux Spot Size (mm) Total Angular Acceptance (mrad)
14.2 keV Ge(220) 3 x 10-4 2 x 1011 ph/sec (@ 11 keV , 70mA, 2.5 GeV) 0.75H x 0.5V 2

Source Type
Bending magnet

Optical System
Mirror: Platinum coated Zerodur flat mirror bent to focus in the vertical; mirror is located 14 meters from the source and has a focal point at 18 meters from the source.

Monochromator: Bent crystal monochromator with Ge(220) crystals asymmetrically cut to collect the horizontal and focus it 18 meters from the source.

Experimental Apparatus
Radiation hutch; six circle Huber diffractometer; ion chambers; Bicron scintillation detectors.

Computer System Hardware & Software
X10B is interfaced to a DSP-6002 crate controller connected to a UNIX/PC running SPEC and CPLOT.
