WEPF11	Emittance Measurement Using X-Ray Lenses at the ESRF	833
	F. Ewald, J.C. Biasci, L. Farvacque, K.B. Scheidt ESRF, Grenoble, France
	During the year 2011, X-ray lenses were tested as an alternative way of emittance measurement in the ESRF storage ring. Following these tests it was decided to install a new bending magnet diagnostics beam port dedicated primarily to a permanent emittance measurement using X-ray lens imaging. The new beam port is equipped with a thin (0.6 mm) double CVD diamond window instead of 3 mm aluminium used at the pinhole beam ports. This increases the X-ray transmission, especially at low energies. The imaging and emittance measurement using aluminium lenses is discussed in comparison to the emittance measurement based on pinhole imaging. Although the principle works correctly, the setup presents different practical difficulties, such as low signal intensity and heat load.

WEPF12	Characterisation of Al-Compound Refractive Lenses for X-Rays	837
	F. Ewald, J.C. Biasci ESRF, Grenoble, France
	We report on measurements of the surface quality (shape) of aluminium compound refractive lenses using a thin collimated X-ray beam from one of our bending magnet diagnostics beam ports. Two types of lenses were tested for overall radius of curvature, surface quality and thickness: commercially available lenses (RWTH Aachen), and lenses of the same type manufactured at the ESRF. The different surface qualities can be readily discerned with our relatively simple setup. While the technique should be improved for more precise results, it already shows clearly the imperfect surface structure of the ESRF lenses. The image quality of the beam, however, is not affected to a visible extent in our emittance measurement setup at vertical emittances of typically ~ 6 pm.
