  1. National Synchrotron Light Source II Semi-permanent Setup at the NSLS for 0.1 meV Optics R&D Zhong Zhong

  2. Acknowledgement Collaborators: Lonny Berman, Yong Cai, John Hill, Xianrong Huang, Yuri Shvyd’ko, and Peter Siddons Technical help: Scott Coburn, Shu Cheung, Richard Greene, Anthony Lenhard, Zhijian Yin, and Hui Zhong Expert advice: Alfred Baron, Michael Hart, Steve Hulbert, Chi-Chang Kao, and Francesco Sette, and many others

  3. Why Bother? • A semi-permanent setup is attractive for serious experimentalists • 0.1 meV R&D will involve lots of trial-and-error … a local home base is preferred • Access may entice experts (such as Shvyd’ko, Alp, Baron) to come to BNL more often • A playground may entice local experts (Siddons, Berman, Kao to name a few) to roll up their sleeves, and play • Develops local expertise: one can only learn by doing, and making mistakes • Readily available x-ray is a NSLS-advantage, a luxury for APS, ESRF and Spring-8

  4. The Approach • 0th-order approximation: Repeat the Shvyd’ko experiment (0.7 meV target) • Get to the end results as soon as we can, then work backwards • Small crystals will be used • It may be advantageous to have a CCD detector to watch the beam from day-one. The detector helps in understanding what really goes on in the crystals • Study and refine: surface quality? Crystal d-spacing uniformity? Crystal strain/mounting? Temperature uniformity and stability? Role of dispersion compensation? … • The list goes on, but the point is to get our hands dirty and start learning. • We hope to migrate/creep/leap: 0.7 meV -> 0.3 meV -> 0.1 meV

  5. Feasibility • Involves direct beam, flux should not be a problem. • The angles involved are large (a few to 100 micro-radians) -> Vibration should not be a problem. • The divergence Shvyd’ko used is 15 micro-radians.  We can do that at the NSLS with 200-micron slit at 15 m.  • 200 micron in-plane -> 4 mm footprint on C, W crystals (b=20), and 4/tan(1.5)=120 mm on D crystal (1.5 deg offcut). Thus small crystals are sufficient. • Temperature stability is important but we can start with ambient and see what other problems we have.

  6. Haves and Have-nots • What we have: • Access to X12A: NSLS R&D beamline on a bending magnet port • Control system, 111 channel cut monochromator • A CCD detector borrowed from X15A (10 micron pixel size, 30 x 40 mm2) • What we made: • Two asymmetric (88.5 deg) 008 D crystals • Two 220 CW crystals, with fancy 200-500 micron thin wafer • … Enough to keep us going for a while • What we (eventually) need • Temperature controlled crystal environment • Scanning diagnostic aperture in beam • A dedicated high resolution detector

  19. C Crystal Rocking Curve W C • Data is for 0.3x12 mm and 0.3x1 mm beams • Width (FWHM) is about 120 micro-radians, in agreement with expectations of 106 micro-radians • Monochromator energy was changed, and dE/E=dth/th was used to calibrate tilt motor

  22. W Transmissivity • Experiment w/ 0.2x1 mm beam • Simulation assumes 0.35 mm thick W • Excellent qualitative agreement • Peak Transmissivity is about 40%, in agreement with simulation of about 45%. • Measurement is consistent with 80% W intrinsic transmissivity.

  25. Poor-person’s Temp. Stabilization • Lights were turned off, and hutch door was closed overnight • Everything else stayed the same Before After 20 min. scan time

  26. What Next? • Further characterization of D crystal • Verify the angular acceptance by mis-aligning the CDW assembly. • Design and build a second set of CDW assembly • CDW will be scanned against the second set to determine the energy resolution. • Depending on the resolution achieved, 0.3 or 0.1 meV version will be designed and tested.

  27. Two Legs

  28. Summary • NSLS bending magnet is suitable for 0.1 meV R&D. • CW Crystal performs as expected. Two such crystals in hand will be used for further development • Vibration control is appropriate (keeping it simple and stiff, minimize adjustments/weak links). • Free-standing thin-wafer concept provides good strain-relief for W crystal • Leaf-spring/weak-link mechanism provides fine adjustment
