Modern developments in x-ray and neutron optics

This volume describes modern developments in reflective, refractive and diffractive optics for short wavelength radiation as well recent theoretical approaches to modelling and ray-tracing the x-ray and neutron optical systems. It isbased on the joint research activities of specialists in x-ray and neutron optics from 11 countries, working together under the framework of the European Programme for Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST, Action P7) in the period 2002-2006. The chapters are written by leading specialists from European laboratories, universities and large facilities. In addition to new ideas and concepts, the contents provide a large amount of practical information about recently implemented devices and methods. Summarizes the current knowledge on neutron and x-ray otpics. Gives advices on the design of neutron and x-ray optical devices. Valuable reference work for researchers, engineers and graduate students alike INDICE: From the contents 1. X-Ray and Neutron Optical Systems. 2. The BESSY Ray-trace Program RAY. 3.
