Bent crystals in Laue geometry: dynamical focusing of a polychromatic incident beam

The main limitation of Laue geometry for the achievement of a small focus size is the focus broadening caused by the intrinsic Darwin width and the spread of the beam in the Borrmann triangle, resulting from propagation inside the crystal. A method, based on dynamical focusing, is suggested that allows improvement of the quality of high-energy polychromatic focusing by bent crystals in Laue geometry.
