Abstract

Abstract A new spectrometer construction based on a high-voltage W-anode x-ray tube has been used to measure the directional Compton profiles of a pyrolytic graphite crystal. Owing to the focusing geometry, the monochromatic WKα1 t beam is very well collimated, which improves the momentum resolution compared with conventional241 Am spectrometers, operated almost at the same energy. The experimental anisotropy in the basal plane and in the direction of the c-axis is found to be very close to that of a recent calculation, based on the pseudopotential local-density-functional model.
