Abstract
The paper describes an investigation of the characteristics of spherical focusing Bragg-reflection mirrors. The integral reflectivity of bent crystals at Bragg angles 80–90°, the width of the spectrum of the reflected x-rays, and the spatial resolution of the images formed by the focusing crystals are considered. Results are presented of the calculated integral reflectivity of bent silicon and quartz crystals of different orientation and in different orders of reflection. The feasibility is demonstrated of laser-plasma diagnostics using the images obtained with the aid of a multichannel x-ray microscope based on focusing crystals. Possible schemes of active diagnostics of a dense laser plasma using a monochromatic transilluminating x-ray beam are considered.
