Abstract

The whispering gallery effect in the hard X-ray region (0.15-0.3 nm) has been theoretically and experimentally investigated using a concave spherical mirror with a 25-cm radius of curvature and a diameter of 6 cm. A spherical mirror finds and captures the rays incident on its surface in the whispering gallery mode; there is no need to perform an exact alignment of the mirror with respect to the incident X-ray beam in order to observe the effect. To analyze the experimental data, we used the ray tracing method. It is shown that the results of the experiment and computer simulation are in good agreement.
