Diagnostic front end for BESSY II

Abstract

For BESSY II, synchrotron radiation beam diagnostics will be incorporated in both the insertion-device front ends and the dipole-beamline front ends. In order to gain a complete picture of the source characteristics, a diagnostic front end has been designed and tested for dipole radiation. This consists of (i) a pinhole array imaging system, (ii) a double-blade system for the determination of the vertical center of gravity of the synchrotron radiation fan, and (iii) a Bragg–Fresnel multilayer system for the most precise image information about the source size and shape.
