Development of the Channel Cut Monochromator with Curved Reflecting Surfaces at NSRL

To simplify the complicated mechanism of the traditional double crystal monochromator for synchrotron radiation, a kind of channel cut monochromator with curved reflecting surfaces to fix the exit beam position was successfully developed at NSRL. The performance of this monochromator, which includes the relative efficiency, diffraction bandwidth and deviation of the beam spot, was calculated and measured. The analysis of these results are presented in this paper.
