Title: An x-ray optic calibration facility for high energy density diagnostics

Abstract

A facility to calibrate x-ray imaging optics was built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to support high energy density (HED) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) diagnostics such as those at the National Ignition Facility and the Sandia Z-Machine. Calibration of the spectral reflectivity and resolution of these x-ray diagnostics enable absolute determination of the x-ray flux and wavelengths generated in the HED and ICF experiments. Measurement of the optic point spread function is used to determine spatial resolution of the optic. This facility was constructed to measure (1) the x-ray reflectivity to ±5% over a spectral range from 5 to 60 keV; (2) point spread functions with a resolution of 50 μm (currently) and 13 μm (future) in the image plane; and (3) optic distance relative to the x-ray source and detector to within ±100 μm in each dimension. Here, this article describes the capabilities of the calibration facility, concept of operations, and initial data from selected x-ray optics.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Schematic layout of x-ray optic calibration beam path. The x-ray source (a) is on a 3-axis motorized translation stage stack with 50 mm of horizontal and 12 mm vertical travel. The optic test stage stack (b) and the detector stage stack (c) can both travel along the 3more » m long rail (d) that is parallel to the optical axis (e). The entire system is housed inside of a lead-lined steel enclosure, not shown.« less
