Abstract

An expression is derived for the energy resolution of a planar trochoidal monochromator. The expression is generally valid for entrance and exit apertures (beams) of circular cross section, and obviates the previous practice of assigning to the resolution an ad hoc term representing the full potential drop across the entrance aperture. Good agreement is demonstrated with results of practical monochromators over a wide range of energies.
