title: High-frequency X-ray beam chopper based on diffraction by surface acoustic waves.
abstract: The diffraction of an X-ray beam on an ultrasonic wave propagating at the surface of a crystal gives rise to diffraction satellites whose temporal structure is correlated to that of the ultrasonic wave. By matching the temporal structure of the surface acoustic wave with the filling mode of the storage ring, it is possible to select or reject the incident X-ray pulses. A few examples of the performance of this MHz-range chopper for various filling modes are presented.
