Experimental arrangement of the X-ray energy-tunable polarimeter with a phase retarder. The polarizer and analyser crystals are similar channel-cut crystals giving four-bounce 422 symmetric Bragg reflections and are equipped with the Hart–Rodrigues offset mechanism. The phase retarder is a diamond (001)-oriented plate of 313 µm thickness giving 111 asymmetric Laue reflection, the plane of incidence of which is inclined by 45° from the horizontal plane. Two ion chambers were placed upstream and downstream of the sample to measure the absorption spectrum. |
