Changes

During the last test as [http://www.chess.cornell.edu/ CHESS] it was determined that the wire mount was not suitable for diamond analysis because the rocking curve was skewed by the high vibrational frequency of the diamond-wire system.  In order to perform the surface analysis, a new mounting device is in development.

This device is composed of two stretched mylar sheets with each sheet attached to one half of the mount. The diamond will be placed between the sheets.  This advantage of this type of mount is that it will create very little stress on the diamond sample, preventing the sample from warping.  This type of mount cannot be used in the final beam path at JLab because of the high temperatures on the vacuum chamber (~500^oC)
