Abstract
A study on the thermal load of cryogenically cooled silicon in synchrotron double-crystal monochromators is presented, based on experimental data from four different beamlines at Diamond Light Source. Different amounts of power are deposited on the first monochromator crystal by varying the storage ring current. The resulting crystal deformation causes a decline in the diffraction efficiency when power and power density are above threshold values. The results are compatible with an analytical model of thermo-mechanical deformation. Acceptable monochromator heat load values are determined with this model, to ensure optimal function of the monochromator. This model, previously tested against finite element analyses, is now validated against measured data and it will be used as a tool for initial analysis of monochromator performance on upgraded photon sources.
