Abstract

Development of the third generation X-ray synchrotron facilities, beginning in the 1990s offered the prospect of powerful tunable X-ray beams for a broad range of applications and, along with it, a host of beamline and optics challenges. One of the main challenges stemmed from the high power (kWs) of the X-ray beams: beamline and optical components capable of handling the high heat loads of the beams had to be developed and tested. Another challenge was, and remains, the development of precision optical elements that preserve X-ray beam quality. In this talk and based on firsthand experience, I review the development of a number of beamline and optical components, from inception to completion, with emphasis on the lessons learned in the process.
