Synchrotron X-ray Optics Testing at Beamline 1-BM at the Advanced Photon Source

Beamline 1-BM at the Advanced Photon Source has been reconfigured, in part for testing of synchrotron optics with both monochromatic and white beams. Monochromatic energies between 6 and 30 keV are available. Primary agendas include both white beam and monochromatic beam topography, Talbot grating interferometry for measurement of coherence lengths and wavefronts, and micro-focusing. Recent examples will include topography of sapphire , tests of Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors, and tests of multilayer Laue lenses. Analyzers for Inelastic X-ray Scattering has also been characterized by two user groups.
