X-ray instrumentation for the photon factory

Abstract

The Photon Factory is one of the world's largest synchroton radiation light sources, the beam lines of which supply intense sources of vacuum UV, soft and hard X-rays. About 30 measuring instruments have been purpose-built, and this book describes the development and construction of the X-ray instrumentation. Given the multifunctional nature of the Photon Factory, it may be expected that the instrumentation serving it fulfills a variety of purposes including: reflection imaging systems; diffraction grating fabrication; monochromators; polarizers; analyzers; detectors; data collection systems; cameras; and goniometers.
