A new theory explains x-ray emission from relativistic electrons in multilayer mirrors, showing potential for brighter, tunable quasimonochromatic X-ray sources.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • X-ray Optics

Background:

  • Relativistic electrons interacting with materials can generate X-rays.
  • Multilayer mirrors offer unique structures for radiation generation.
  • Existing X-ray sources have limitations in tunability and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a dynamic diffraction theory for X-ray emission from relativistic electrons in finite-thickness multilayer mirrors.
  • To account for both diffracted transition radiation and parametric radiation mechanisms.
  • To derive simple formulas for X-ray emission characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a dynamic diffraction theory.
  • Analysis of X-ray emission mechanisms (diffracted transition radiation and parametric radiation).
