A proposal for a 1D-imaging broadband x-ray crystal spectrometer enabled by a sagittally focusing x-ray mirror.

Measurements of x-ray absorption/opacity in ionized plasmas at the National Ignition Facility in experiments with high neutron yields require large detector standoff distances, motivating advances in opacity spectrometer design. We propose a spectrometer in which x rays first reflect from a sagittally focusing mirror w...
