Figure 1
In the ALS-U FLEXON M1, one end of the silicon mirror substrate (labeled 1) is clamped to a cooling manifold (2) with a screw (3) and barrel nut (4). Preload at cryogenic temperatures is maintained by a spring washer (6). Indium foil is compressed between the substrate and manifold. Liquid nitro­gen enters and exits the manifold via the welded-in fittings (5) and flows across an array of pins (9). Movement of the substrate relative to the manifold is prevented by a pair of hollow dowel pins, one in a slot (7) and one in a hole (8). The coordinate system used for finite-element calculations is shown at the center of the beam footprint (10) as a dashed line for the 6σ dimensions of 230 eV photons. The beam grazing angle is 1.25°, which is exaggerated in the drawing for clarity.
