High-luminosity meV-resolution single-shot hard X-ray spectrograph for cavity-based X-ray free-electron lasers

Cavity-based X-ray free-electron lasers (CBXFELs) represent a possible realization of fully coherent hard X-ray sources having high spectral brilliance along with a narrow spectral bandwidth of ∼1–50 meV, a high repetition pulse rate of ∼1 MHz, and good stability. A diagnostic tool is required to me...

description Cavity-based X-ray free-electron lasers (CBXFELs) represent a possible realization of fully coherent hard X-ray sources having high spectral brilliance along with a narrow spectral bandwidth of ∼1–50 meV, a high repetition pulse rate of ∼1 MHz, and good stability. A diagnostic tool is required to measure CBXFEL spectra with meV resolution and high luminosity on a shot-to-shot basis. We have designed a high-luminosity single-shot hard X-ray spectrograph that images 9.831 keV X-rays in a ∼200 meV spectral window with a spectral resolution of a few meV. The spectrograph is designed around angular dispersion of X-rays in Bragg diffraction from crystals. It operates close to design specifications, exhibiting a linear dispersion rate of ∼1.4 µm meV−1 and a ∼200 meV window of high-fidelity spectral imaging. The experimentally demonstrated spectral resolution is ∼20 meV; this resolution is twice as low as expected from theory primarily because the spectrograph is highly sensitive to crystal angular instabilities. The experiment was performed at the bending magnet X-ray optics testing beamline 1-BM at the Advanced Photon Source.
