Investigating the Limits of Hard X-ray Coherence Length Measurement Employing Young's Double Slit Experiment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Young's double slit experiment has been the most explored technique to gauge the coherence properties of a given system. The limits of this technique in characterizing spatial coherence properties of high emittance, hard x-ray synchrotron sources have been performed at the BXDS-IVU beamline, Canadian Light Source (CLS). High emittance synchrotron sources have always been assumed to possess sub-optimal coherence properties, especially in the hard X-ray regime. While this is largely true, it is very important to understand the limits of coherence for these existing high emittance sources. We have demonstrated that the Young's double slit experiment has harsher limits than what is normally expected in the form of inherent ambiguity. We present data obtained at multiple energies in both the horizontal and vertical direction leading to a thorough understanding of the fundamental limitations of employing Young's double slit experiment to characterize inherently low coherence length systems. We have put forth a novel numerical technique to estimate the source size directly from the Young's double slit interference patterns. With these results, we have demonstrated that CLS has functional coherent beam properties in the hard X-ray regime with Spatial coherence lengths ranging from 5.37$μ\text{m}$ to 17.61$μ\text{m}$ in the horizontal direction. The same in the vertical direction was at least 3 times larger. Finally, we present theoretical calculations showcasing the limits of Young's double slit experiment in characterizing diffraction limited sources.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
