Ray tracing simulation of 1-BM beamline at the Advanced Photon Source for polarization analyses of synchrotron optics

Authors:

Abstract
In this paper, we present recent progress on polarization optics using the 1-BM beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Beamline 1-BM was recently repurposed for optics and detector testing. SHADOW software, a ray-tracing program for the simulation of optical systems of synchrotron radiation beamlines, is used to model the beamline. In this paper, we present optical ray-tracing studies for test set-ups that take advantage of the polarization variation of the bending magnet radiation above and below the horizontal plane of the beamline.
