Figure 6
Evolution of the parasitic scattering background as a function of etching time of the first analyzer crystal after optical polishing. Here a monolithic Si-220 channel-cut crystal is used, whereas a Si-220 double-crystal set-up is installed as conditioning crystal (`hybrid system'). After the third etching, the background level did not improve any further. The concentrations are given as the volume ratio of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid. |
