Four-channel toroidal crystal x-ray imager for laser-produced plasmas
Abstract:
The motion law of complex fluids under extreme conditions is an important aspect of high energy density physics research. It has been demonstrated that using multi-channel curved crystals and a framing camera to observe the laser-produced target pellets doped with tracer elements is an appropriate method for investigating this law. This paper presents a feasible design scheme for a multi-channel toroidal imager, with the ray trace model used to verify the rationality of the evaluation method and the aberration of single toroidal crystal imaging. We demonstrate that the field of view (FOV) consistency of the four-channel Ge(400) toroidal crystal imager is less than 50 µm, while the best spatial resolution is ∼4 µm and the FOV of each channel is >2.2 mm.
