Abstract
Hollow glass fibers can guide x rays because glancing-angle collisions with a smooth glass surface are highly reflective. Surface roughness decreases this reflectivity. We have developed relatively simple expressions for the effects of surface roughness on x-ray scattering, and we relate our results to the theoretical efficiency of x-ray lenses formed from bundles of hollow glass fibers.This publication has 40 references indexed in Scilit:
