70. Advancements in X-ray Wavefront Sensing and At-wavelength Metrology at the Advanced Photon Source

Dr Xianbo Shi (Argonne National Laboratory)

Oral

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) has achieved significant advancements in X-ray wavefront sensing and at-wavelength metrology, which are essential for optimizing the performance of X-ray optics and synchrotron beamlines. A notable breakthrough is the development of the coded-mask-based wavefront sensing technique, which merges the advantages of grating interferometry and speckle tracking....

49. A new user-friendly tool for simulating the efficiency of multilayer gratings

Andrew Walters (Diamond Light Source)

Oral

In recent years, several x-ray facilities have begun to use multilayer gratings (MLGs) in plane-grating monochromators thanks to their vastly superior efficiencies in the tender x-ray range compared to traditional single-layer gratings (SLGs). However, most of the software tools normally used for simulating the efficiencies of SLGs are not able to simulate MLGs. As a result several x-ray...

21. Efficient simulation and AI surrogate models for real-time optimisation

Peter Feuer-Forson (Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin)

9/14/23, 9:50 AM

Oral

In order to aid the design and development of optical elements, such as Reflection Zone Plates, and automate the process of aligning optics in both spectrometers and beamlines, we have developed new simulation software as well as deep learning AI methods.

RAY-X, our open-source state-of-the-art physics-based ray tracing software is designed to utilise modern GPUs to reduce trace time of...

25. A New Ray Trace Computer Program For Radiation Safety

Dr Lance Lee (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

9/14/23, 10:10 AM

Oral

A new computer program has been created to assist in radiation safety ray trace operation for Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. In contrast to historical method which has been performed manually using drafting tools on CAD softwares, the computer-based calculation propagate the illumination boundaries automatically and accurately using phase space...
