Abstract

An internally cooled crystal with pin-post structure was fabricated using sand-blasting methods and Au-diffusive bonding techniques. Test operation at an undulator beamline of SPring-8 showed that the crystal possessed sufficient cooling capability for radiation from the SPring-8 standard in-vacuum undulator. The remaining problem was how to suppress the strain on the surface induced by bonding and water pressure.
