The Semi-Transparent Diamond Monochromator at the ESRF Troika Beamlines

  • Published : 2006.08.01

Abstract

The above described semi-transparent monochromators have been operational since 1997. Four units are permanently operating at the ESRF beam line ID14. Two units are in continuous operation at ID 10 and one unit is installed at the APS beamline 8-ID in USA. The water cooling of the crystals is currently being revised and above we showed that improvements most likely are possible by using micro fluidics techniques. Further tests will be performed in collaboration with the CEA-France and tested at ESRF. Parallel developments including nanofluids as coolants are under evaluation. Combination of nanofluidics and microfluidics cooling devices are under study. The authors are grateful to C. Gillot and J-A. Gruss for useful discussions and advices, and to S.Mcheik for his work on the thermal model.
