    Notes: The scientific background and scope of research at the High Energy Scattering Beamlines of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility are reviewed briefly. The beamline has two different insertion devices (IDs), a permanent magnet multipole wiggler and a superconducting wavelength shifter. The IDs can be used alternatingly, and both provide circularly polarized radiation off the orbit plane up to energies of several hundreds of keV. Measurements of the spectral brightness and the polarization components by energy dispersive powder diffraction and Compton scattering from iron in an alternating magnetic field are presented and compared with calculations based on source parameters. The beamline optics are based on use of horizontally reflecting bent Si crystals. These provide various focusing geometries, and the calculated flux of monochromatic radiation is given at energies between 30 and 175 keV. The maximum of 2×1012 photons/s is reached at 80 keV. The main experimental apparatus in the initial operation includes a high-resolution three-axis diffractometer, and a scanning-type Compton spectrometer. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In the past γ-ray Compton scattering experiments proved their value for the investigation of many-body effects in the electronic structure of solids by measuring the projection of the electron momentum density onto the scattering vector, the so-called Compton profile. Due to the availability of modern synchrotron radiation facilities the momentum resolution of the technique was improved substantially and, by using circular polarized photons, "magnetic'' Compton profiles could be determined in ferromagnetic materials. A new approach, where the Compton scattered photon is measured in coincidence with the recoiling electron, allows for a direct determination of electron momentum densities in solids. This (γ,eγ) scattering technique will reach its full potential once synchrotron radiation from undulators in electron storage rings operating at energies above 10 GeV will be available.

    Notes: Investigations of spin densities in ferromagnetic materials using magnetic Compton scattering are reported. At the high-energy beamline ID15 at the ESRF, experiments have been carried out utilizing the high flux at very high photon energies. Energies from 60 up to 1000 keV have been used for investigations of experimental resolution, cross section, spin moments and momentum distribution. Optimized conditions are found for photon energies from 200 to 250 keV with a momentum resolution 〈 0.4 a.u. and a doubled magnetic effect compared with earlier measurements. In the determination of absolute spin moments multiple scattering has to be taken into account.

    Notes: Novel focusing optical devices have been developed for synchrotron radiation in the energy range 40–100 keV. Firstly, a narrow-band-pass focusing energy-tuneable fixed-exit monochromator was constructed by combining meridionally bent Laue and Bragg crystals. Dispersion compensation was applied to retain the high momentum resolution despite the beam divergence caused by the focusing. Next, microfocusing was achieved by a bent multilayer arranged behind the crystal monochromator and alternatively by a bent Laue crystal. A 1.2 µm-high line focus was obtained at 90 keV. The properties of the different set-ups are described and potential applications are discussed. First experiments were performed, investigating with high spatial resolution the residual strain gradients in layered polycrystalline materials. The results underline that focused high-energy synchrotron radiation can provide unique information on the mesoscopic scale to the materials scientist, complementary to existing techniques based on conventional X-ray sources, neutron scattering or electron microscopy.

    Notes: The use of synchrotron radiation with very high photon energies has become possible only with the latest generation of storage rings. All high-electron-energy synchrotron sources will have a dedicated program for the use of very high photon energies. The high-energy beamline ID15 at the ESRF was the first beamline built and dedicated to this purpose, and it has now been in user operation for more than three years. The useful energy range of this beamline is 30–1000 keV and the superconducting insertion device for producing the highest attainable photon energies is described in detail. The techniques most often used today are diffraction and Compton scattering; an overview of the most important experiments is given. Both techniques have been used in the investigation of magnetic systems, and, additionally, the high resolution in reciprocal space, which can be achieved in diffraction, has led to a series of applications. Other fields of research are addressed, and attempts to indicate possible future research areas of high-energy synchrotron radiation are made.

    Notes: Element-sensitive tomography produces quality information in the field of medical imaging. This method, also known as dichromatic tomography, can be useful to visualize the distribution of heavy elements, such as actinides, without destroying the sample. One of the problems is to obtain a monochromatic photon beam of sufficiently high energy; the other is to have a way of recording these high-energy photons with a good spatial resolution. Here, the results of a first experiment on uranium mapping with synchrotron radiation are reported. Various natural and artificial samples of a few centimetres in size with uranium concentration between 0.008 g cm−3 and 2 g cm−3 were scanned using photon beams around 115 keV and a specially designed camera. The data were then analysed using a conventional fast reconstruction technique. This yielded excellent results with spatial resolutions down to 50 µm. For the first time it was shown that element-sensitive tomography using synchrotron radiation could be extended to the heaviest natural element. Therefore, in principle, the spatial distribution of any element can now be reconstructed using synchrotron radiation. Extension of this technique to very heavy elements can be important for geology, health physics and nuclear waste storage.

    Notes: A scanning-type crystal spectrometer for high-resolution Compton profile measurements has been constructed at the High Energy Inelastic Scattering Beamline (ID15B) of the ESRF. Radiation from a seven-period asymmetrical permanent-magnet wiggler or from a superconducting wavelength shifter is focused horizontally onto the sample by a bent-crystal monochromator. Typical energies are 30, 50 and 60 keV, the flux on the sample is 1012 photons s−1, and the relative energy bandwidth is 3 × 10−4. The spectrometer operates in the Rowland circle geometry, where the sample is fixed and the cylindrically bent analyser crystal and the detector move on the focusing circle by synchronized translations and rotations. The main detector is a large-diameter NaI scintillation counter, the incident beam is monitored by an Si diode, and scattering from the sample is detected using a Ge detector. The recorded spectrum is corrected for the energy-dependent response of the spectrometer, background and multiple scattering, and converted to the momentum scale. The resolution of the spectrometer is calculated from the geometrical factors and the reflectivity curve of the analyser crystal, and the result is checked against the widths of the elastically scattered line and fluorescent lines. So far, 0.1 a.u. resolution in electron momentum has been achieved. The typical average count rate over the Compton profile is about 1000 counts s−1 from a weakly absorbing sample.
