Simulation tool models radiation distribution in cylindrical polycapillary optics, suggesting future applications in X-ray science.
A new CAD program designed for X-ray photon tracing in polycapillary optics is described. As starting approach the simplest case of cylindrical polycapillary optics is presented. The PolyCAD allows any type of X-ray source such as an X-ray tube of finite beam dimensions as well as an astrophysical object in combination with polycapillary optical samples to be simulated. Using geometrical optics approximation the program was drawn up by a code for two different sources: a point-source and an X-ray tube. The radiation distributions formed by the cylindrical lens on a screen located at various distances are discussed. The agreement with the results earlier published validates the PolyCAD results.
