Abstract
A set of multilayer X-ray mirrors for an upgraded version of the double-mirror monochromator installed on the VEPP-5 synchrotron of the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics is fabricated, its constituent parts are optimized, and its X-ray optical characteristics are studied. Due to the use of seven subbands, for each of which an optimal pair of materials is chosen, the mirror set ensures high reflection coefficients—ranging from 10 to 75%— for a wide range of photon energies from 80 to 3000 eV and wavelengths from 0.413 to 15.48 nm. The principles of optimization of material pairs are reported. For the first time, multilayer mirrors based on the W/Be pair of materials are fabricated and studied.
