Adaptive indirectly cooled monochromator crystals at HASYLAB.
The high-heat-load monochromator, based on the HASYLAB (Hamburger Synchrotronstrahlungslabor) 'Torii' design, has been used successfully for 2 years at the BW2 wiggler beamline. The bowing of the reflecting surface induced by the heat load and water pressure is compensated mechanically. This is achieved by mounting the specially shaped crystal in a bending mechanism and by heat transfer from the directly water-cooled crystal. We present the latest step in the development of this design. The piezoceramic-driven actuators are replaced by actuators based on the thermal expansion of copper rods. The direct water cooling of the crystal is replaced by a safer indirect water-cooling scheme. Characterization results of the crystal are presented. The Si(111) rocking-curve width at 9.5 keV was measured to be 8.3 arcsec under 500 W heat load.
