All files mentioned in this note are located on the CfA HEAD and CE LANs in /proj/axaf/Simul/databases/optconsts/synch_20001117 unless otherwise noted.


Summary

These optical constants are based upon the 19991215 Optical constants with additional smoothing to improve the joints between energy bands.

The Ir optical constants are in 065o_optconsts_merged.rdb

The multi-layer surface parameters are in 065o_layers_merged_no_ol.rdb

The following plots shows the reflectivity from the surface multi-layer for the nominal grazing angles for the four HRMA shells. These are single reflections. The bumps in the high energy tail are due to the surface layers. The tabulated reflectivities are also available:

Shell Reflectivities
1 065o_layers_merged_no_ol_51.2_refl.rdb
3 065o_layers_merged_no_ol_41.2_refl.rdb
4 065o_layers_merged_no_ol_36.4_refl.rdb
6 065o_layers_merged_no_ol_27.0_refl.rdb

Ir Optical Constants

The file optconsts_065o.rdb is a copy of Ping Zhao's file in /data/ping3/HRMA_refl/optconsts_065/optconsts_065o.rdb. The file 065o_optconsts_merged.rdb is a processed version of optconsts_065o.rdb, constructed by the fixpz script.

065o_optconsts_merged.rdb is the official set of Ir optical constants.

See Ping's email on how he created optconsts_065o.rdb


Multi-Layer Specification Files

A multilayer_reflect compatible specification file is available: 065o_layers_merged_no_ol.rdb. The surface parameters are averages of those for the different energy ranges, which are available here.

Subject: New Optical Constant Table

Hello everyone,

Following I mentioned in our meeting this week, I just did a refit of the optical constant joints, which made some minor changes at the joint bewteen Gullikson and synchrotron at around 0.96keV and two synchrotron-synchrotron joints at around 2.02keV and 2.90keV. This refit smoothed out some very small jitters at those joints appeared in the previous version (991220).

The new OC table is at the same location: /data/ping3/HRMA_refl/optconsts_065/optconsts_065o.rdb

The previous version is at
/data/ping3/HRMA_refl/optconsts_065/991220/optconsts_065o.rdb in case you want to see the difference.

This OC table is based on the synchrotron sample 065 data with overlayer fitting. The number of energies is the same as the previous version - 1040 energies. But there are some small shifts of energy levels at those joints.

Diab, please use this table for the new raytrace.

Cheers,

Ping
