TY - JOUR A1 - Kaganer, Vladimir M. A1 - Petrov, Ilia A1 - Samoylova, Liubov T1 - Resolution of a bent‐crystal spectrometer for X‐ray free‐electron laser pulses: diamond versus silicon Y1 - 2021-05-27 VL - 77 IS - 4 SP - 268 EP - 276 JF - Acta Crystallographica Section A DO - 10.1107/S2053273321003697 DO - 10.23689/fidgeo-5237 PB - International Union of Crystallography N2 - The resolution function of a spectrometer based on a strongly bent single crystal (bending radius of 10 cm or less) is evaluated. It is shown that the resolution is controlled by two parameters: (i) the ratio of the lattice spacing of the chosen reflection to the crystal thickness and (ii) a single parameter comprising crystal thickness, its bending radius, distance to a detector, and anisotropic elastic constants of the chosen crystal. The results allow the optimization of the parameters of bent‐crystal spectrometers for the hard X‐ray free‐electron laser sources. N2 - The resolution function of a bent‐crystal spectrometer for pulses of an X‐ray free‐electron laser is evaluated. Under appropriate conditions, the energy resolution reaches the ratio of the lattice spacing to the crystal thickness. image UR - http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/9583 ER -
