Performance of the cooling system for the soft x-ray double-crystal monochromator at the Photon Factory

Abstract
A crystal cooling system was designed and tested successfully for the soft x‐ray double‐crystal monochromator in an ultrahigh‐vacuum environment at the Photon Factory. The temperature rise at the surface of the InSb first crystal is reduced to less than 45 °C at an average stored current of 200 mA. With the help of a control software, the output beam can be fixed in a position for a wide energy range. In this paper, the heating effect on the double‐crystal monochromator, and the design and performance of a water cooling system are described.
