Title: Repeatability and sensitivity characterization of the far-field high-energy diffraction microscopy instrument at the Advanced Photon Source

Journal Article · · Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (Online)

In the last two decades, far-field high-energy diffraction microscopy (FF-HEDM) and similar non-destructive techniques have been actively developed at synchrotron light sources around the world. As these techniques (and associated analysis tools) are becoming more available for the general users of these light sources, it is important and timely to characterize their performance and capabilities. In this work, the FF-HEDM instrument implemented at the 1-ID-E endstation of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) is summarized. The set of measurements conducted to characterize the instrument's repeatability and sensitivity to changes in grain orientation and position are also described. When an appropriate grain matching method is used, the FF-HEDM instrument's repeatability is approximately 5 µm in translation, 0.02° in rotation, and 2 × 10 −4 in strain; the instrument sensitivity is approximately 5 µm in translation and 0.05° in rotation.
