Functions of the x-ray optics
Confinement (masks, slits, local apertures)
Intensity attenuation (gas attenuator, solid attenuator)
Focusing (K-B mirror)
Spectral filter (mirror low-pass filter, monochromator)
Beam direction (flipper mirrors)
Temporal filter (pulse split/delay)

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

absorption volume (using
linear absorption cross
section). If resulting
energy/atom much less than
melt energy/atom, then the
material will not be

Summary
The XTOD group will provide facilities for transporting the LCLS
x-ray beam, for measuring the beam characteristics, and for
manipulating the characteristics in controlled ways
X-ray optical elements will aperture, attenuate, focus, and
monochromate the x-rays
Some of the desired optical components are not in the current
project scope
A suite of x-ray diagnostics will allow characterization of SASE
performance
