5. John Arthur X-Ray Optics Specsjarthur@slac.stanford.edu October 12, 2004 High peak power (fluence) poses a challenge for x-ray optics Response of material to ultra-high power x-ray pulse is untested LLNL codes can describe all aspects of the response EXCEPT initial conversion of x-ray energy into hot electrons. Uncertainty due only to lack of understanding of non-linear response We have good arguments that the non-linear response will be negligible Therefore, we will use linear absorption cross sections with confidence LLNL will do precise calculations (assuming linear cross sections) as part of optics design Until those calculations are done, use conservative approximation based on known melting points of materials

6. John Arthur X-Ray Optics Specsjarthur@slac.stanford.edu October 12, 2004 NEH FEH FEE LLNL Expected LCLS fluence compared with melt fluence for various materials Approximation assumes FEL pulse energy instantly deposited in atoms within absorption volume (using linear absorption cross section). If resulting energy/atom much less than melt energy/atom, then the material will not be damaged.
