This spectrometer has been designed to enable high resolution hard X-ray spectroscopy in harsh EMP and bremsstrahlung environment, as those found during the interaction of the high intensity laser with solid matter. It uses a Cauchois quartz crystal (the crystal plan are perpendicular to the crystal surface) cylindrically bent allowing the insertion of tungsten slits at the focus of the rays. The spectrometer usually covers >1keV spectral range centered on the central photon energy ranging from 6 to 21 keV at high resolution. When low resolution is needed, the spectral range and throughput is greatly increased at the expense of the spectral resolution. The weight of the fully shielded device is about 350 lbs but can be slid on the optical table and is compatible with all the standard platforms.
