Ex situ metrology and data processing techniques developed at the ALS for optimization of beamline performance of bendable x-ray mirrors

We discuss experimental, analytical, and numerical methods recently developed at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) X?Ray Optics Laboratory (XROL) for calibration and precision shaping of bendable x-ray mirrors. The methods are based on ex situ measurements with the mirrors using surface slope profilers available at the ALS XROL. The first realization of methods and dedicated software has allowed the optimization of the beamline performance of bendable mirrors by adjustment of the mirror shape to minimize the root-mean-square variation of residual (after subtraction of the ideal desired shape) slope deviations from ideal (specified) surface figure. Here, we further develop the methods that in application to elliptically bent mirrors adapt as a figure of merit the minimum of the rms size of the focused beam. The efficacy of the developed methods is demonstrated with examples of optimal tuning of an elliptically bendable cylindrical mirror designed for the ALS beamline 10.3.2.

Re-Release of the ENDF/B VIII.0 S(α,β) Data Processed by NJOY2016

“ENDF/B-VIII.0 provides a major update to the ENDF thermal scattering library. Indeed, it is nearly a completely new sub-library. Only the legacy evaluations for Al, Fe, liquid and solid methane, ortho- and para- hydrogen and deuterium and benzene and the ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluations for SiO2 are unchanged.” Thirty-four (34) materials are provided in ENDF/B-VIII.0 with a total of two hundred and fifty-three (253) evaluations. LEAPR input files are also included for each of the materials as well as “readme” files for most of the materials. All of these 34 thermal scattering files have been re-processed with NJOY2016 (version 53) to produce 253 ACE files suitable for use in MCNP or other similar codes. Table 1 lists the 34 materials which are included in the ENDF/B-VIII.0 thermal scattering library and also notes where major changes have occurred in the re-release.

SAIL Radar b1 Data Processing: Corrections, Calibrations, and Processing Report

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility deployed the second ARM Mobile Facility (AMF2) near Crested Butte, Colorado for the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign. The SAIL campaign occurred from September 1, 2021, to June 15 2023. To study the water cycle in the East River Watershed, ARM deployed a vertically pointing Ka-band ARM Zenith radar (KAZR) and a scanning X-band precipitation radar managed by Colorado State University (CSU XPRECIP), as shown in Figure 1.
