What is it about?

A method of calculating the transmission of hard X-ray radiation through a perfect and well oriented photonic crystal and the propagation of the X-ray beam modified by a photonic crystal in free space is developed. The method is based on the approximate solution of the paraxial equation at short distances, from which the recurrent formula for X-ray propagation at longer distances is derived.

Why is it important?

We got new knowledge about interaction of x-ray with matter and found properties of new device for a modification of synchrotron beam

Perspectives

New theoretical method allows one to solve new tasks of x-ray optics
