A monochromator is…
…un attrezzo usa e getta (mono-uso) per cromare un’autovettura, una bici o quello che ti pare…ma
una sola volta*
*…A tool (use it once and throw it out) that permits one to plate a car or a bike with a chromium(it doesn’t matter) but only once…

•18 meter distance between x-ray
source and test chamber.•The beam travels in vacuum (10-6
mbar)•The vacuum system consists of
several tubes with diameter varying
from 150 mm up to 630 mm in order
to minimize the air volume and thus
the pumping time.•Each section has a side port that
permits to use it as a chamber test.•Main test chamber: 1 meter long x 1
meter diameter. It can be isolated from
the pipe by sliding gate valve.•A clean room class 1000 is located at
the end of the vacuum system.

XACT Facility, the X ray sourceThe X ray source is a multi anode system mounting up to 6 anodes and 4 filters that can be selected without breaking the vacuum. It is low power consuming, so it does not require anode cooling system.Flux = 105 photons/s/cm2 @ 16 meters.The source produces 2 orthogonal beams. The second one is used to monitor the flux.The X ray source has a radius smaller then 0.1 mm.
The laboratory has several anodes in order to cover the energy range 0.1- 20 keV:Cu(0.93; 8.04), Fe(6.4), Cr(5.41), Ti(4.51), Al(1.49), C (0.28) …

Bragg’s law (crystals, multilayers)
n = 2d sin• d = distance between atomic layers in
crystal or bi-layer thickness in a multilayer
• = wavelength of the incident X-ray beam
• n = diffraction order (integer);• grazing incidence angle;
Bragg’s law defines the angle for constructive interference in the wave scattered by the crystal lattice.
A multilayer consists of many alternating layers of high and low Z materials (ex. W/Si). The multilayer diffraction pattern is also described by Bragg’s law.

ConclusionsMechanical system: the components are ordered and they will arrive soon. We plan to mount the system next month and to have the first test in January 2005. The system will be driven remotely.
Monochromator elements: we are able to cover the full energy range; we are still analysing other materials in order to optimise the monochromator system.
