Performance of a high‐resolution, synchrotron‐based, small‐angle x‐ray scattering instrument

We describe the construction and performance of a small‐angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS) instrument which we have used on several beam lines at the National Synchrotron Light Source. The analyzer crystal was a channel cut Si(1,1,1) designed for use at λ=1.54 Å with a measured efficiency of 60% and an a...

Description
Summary:We describe the construction and performance of a small‐angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS) instrument which we have used on several beam lines at the National Synchrotron Light Source. The analyzer crystal was a channel cut Si(1,1,1) designed for use at λ=1.54 Å with a measured efficiency of 60% and an angular resolution full width at half maximum of 0.001°. In the case of strongly scattering samples (i.e., powders), momentum transfer q between 1×10−4 Å
