Abstract
A bent crystal Bragg spectrometer is described which provides continuous and simultaneous coverage for all x‐ray wavelengths within its spectral range. This instrument provides high spectral resolution but involves no precision crystal rocking or position encoding mechanisms and therefore may be highly ruggedized. Principles of operation are discussed and its application to solar x‐ray spectroscopy is described.Keywords
