Experimental observation of a strange temporal oscillation of X-ray Pendellösung fringes

J. Yoshimura and K. Hirano

Synopsis: From an X-ray diffraction imaging experiment using an X-ray CCD camera, it was found that equal-thickness X-ray Pendellösung interference fringes show a strange temporal oscillation in a manner similar to the previously reported spatial oscillation of moiré and Pendellösung fringes, presumably as an intrinsic property of the fringes.

Focusing, collimation and flux throughput at the IMCA-CAT bending-magnet beamline at the Advanced Photon Source

I. Koshelev, R. Huang, T. Graber, M. Meron, J. L. Muir, W. Lavender, K. Battaile, A. M. Mulichak and L. J. Keefe

Synopsis: The IMCA-CAT bending-magnet beamline was upgraded with a collimating mirror in order to achieve the energy resolution required to conduct MAD/SAD experiments without sacrificing beamline flux throughput. The performance of the 17-BM beamline optics and its deviations from ideally shaped optics are discussed in the context of constraints imposed by bending properties of the beamline major optical components.
