Abstract
This paper reports the performance of an ultra-small-angle X-ray scatt ering facility on beamline X23A3 at the National Synchrotron Light Sou rce. Based on a Bonse-Hart double-crystal design, the instrument combi nes: continuously tunable optics with asymmetric first monochromator c rystal, high-flux throughput, high-precision crystal rotators, indepen dently-mounted reflecting crystals, photodiode detector and high-resol ution X-ray video camera. This combination of features permits rapid s mall-angle X-ray scattering measurements in the scattering wave-vector range of 0.005-2.0 nm-1 (depending on the sample), with mum-positioni ng accuracy of a typical 3 x 3 mm2 beam on the sample.
