ASDEX Johann spectrometer

  • 1. GA Technologies, Inc., San Diego, CA (USA)

Description

A Johann spectrometer is a curved crystal instrument whereby X-ray photons are focused by a crystal onto a position sensitive detector. The geometrical relationship between the slit, the crystal and the detector is a circle known as the Rowland circle. Focusing is achieved by bending the crystal such that its radius of curvature is equal to the diameter of the circle. Initial results of test and evaluation of the crystal holders have shown that the micromachined aluminium holders are far superior to the handpolished stainless steel holders. The best focus is 70 μm FWHM in the visible with central 65% of the crystal in proper focus. (orig./GG)
