Abstract
The design and performance results for a cryogenically stabilized high-resolution monochromator for 23.880 keV (lambda = 52 pm) X-rays are presented. The four-crystal-reflection monochromator is suitable for nuclear resonant scattering measurements from 119Sn compounds using synchrotron radiation. The design includes a low-vibration cryostat that maintains two of the four crystal reflections at a temperature where the coefficient for thermal expansion of the crystalline material (silicon) vanishes. Test results demonstrate a 1.3 meV bandwidth with negligible broadening due to vibrations and a spectral efficiency of 37% when used with an undulator source.
