Summary

We precisely measured the coherence of a 1.5-keV X-ray beam from a synchrotron. Phase-space tomography confirmed the beam is statistically stationary with Gaussian correlations, matching theoretical predictions.

Area of Science:

  • X-ray optics
  • Synchrotron radiation science
  • Coherence theory

Background:

  • Understanding the coherence properties of X-ray beams is crucial for advanced imaging and spectroscopy.
  • Third-generation synchrotron sources provide high-brightness beams, but their coherence needs precise characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To perform a precise, spatially resolved measurement of the complex degree of coherence for a 1.5-keV X-ray beam.
  • To validate the applicability of phase-space tomography for X-ray coherence analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized phase-space tomography, a technique relying solely on X-ray intensity measurements.
  • Employed a 1.5-keV beam from a third-generation synchrotron source.

Main Results:

  • The complex degree of coherence was measured with high precision and spatial resolution.
  • The X-ray beam was found to be statistically stationary within experimental uncertainty.
  • Correlations within the beam closely followed a Gaussian distribution.
  • The experimentally determined coherence length agreed excellently with theoretical expectations.

Conclusions:

  • Phase-space tomography is an effective method for characterizing X-ray beam coherence.
  • The results validate theoretical models for coherence in synchrotron-generated X-ray beams.
  • This precise characterization enables improved applications in X-ray science.
