Ultra-high precision x-ray polarimetry with artificial diamond channel cuts at the beam divergence limit

We report on the use of synthetic single-crystal diamonds for high definition x-ray polarimetry. The diamonds are precision mounted to form artificial channel-cut crystals (ACCs). Each ACC supports four consecutive reflections with a scattering angle 2Θ_{B} of 90^{∘}. We achieved a polarization puri...
