A Soft X-ray Source with Focusing Optics for Spectroscopy

这个建议是建立一个原型可调，单色， 用于光谱学的聚焦过渡辐射软X射线源。 这种新的来源承诺的强度和可调性的一个 同步辐射源的十分之一。 常规线路 源，唯一现有的替代同步加速器源， 可以在选定的能量下提供高强度。 然而，Line 光源既不提供可调谐性， 聚焦跃迁辐射源的尺寸。 这个新的来源 提供了实验室规模的前景，强烈，可调，柔和， 用于材料分析和生物研究的X射线源 社区

This proposal is to construct a prototype tunable, monochromatic, focused transition radiation soft x-ray source for spectroscopy. This new source promises the intensity and tunability of a synchrotron source at one-tenth of the cost. Conventional line sources, the only existing alternative to synchrotron sources, can provide a high intensity at selected energies. However, line sources provide neither the tunability nor the small photon spot size of a focused transition radiation source. This new source offers the prospect of a laboratory scale, intense, tunable, soft x-ray source for the materials analysis and biological research community.
