X-RAY POLARIZATION ANALYZER AND ITS X-RAY POLARIZATION ANALYZING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray polarization analyzer and its X-ray polarization analyzing method capable of measuring different linear polarization components at a common polarization element rotating position. SOLUTION: A X-ray polarization element a3 is used which is, for a polarization X-ray component 2 contributing to diffraction, thick sufficiently and least in transmission intensity and, for a polarization X-ray component 5 not contributing to diffraction, thin sufficiently and less in attenuation due to damping and can be transmitted sufficiently. Also, a detector a6 and a detector b7 of the same performance are located at a position to which each polarization component enters. In addition, in order to make the polarization X-ray component 2 in parallel with the direction of injection X-ray 1 relative to the X-ray polarization element a3, sufficiently thick one more crystal is used as the X-ray polarization element b4 to make the polarization X-ray component 2 in parallel with the X-ray bundle of the polarization X-ray component 5.
