DESIGN AND THERMAL ASPECTS OF WATER COOLED PRIMARY MIRROR FOR SYNCHROTRON RADIATION

This paper describes the thermal analysis of water cooled primary mirror used in BL-23 of Indus-2 at RRCAT in which the mirror thermal deformation was minimized for acceptable optical performance. The primary mirror separates the visible part from synchrotron radiation by reflecting visible part to perpendicular plane. In worst condition the primary mirror will be subjected to intense heat load of 150 W, primarily due to X-Ray absorption. This...
