That's approximately the bandwidth of a Si (111) monochromator.

Dear ccp4bb,
I sometimes find the flux of x-ray sources reported in units of “photons/s/0.1%
bandwidth”
instead of simply “photons/s”.
Where does the “1/0.1% bandwidth” unit come from? I have also seen other
percentages like 0.01%
bw or 0.02% bw…
Is it simply defining some degree of acceptance in energy (for example, the
flux between 8 KeV
+/- 8 eV for a given stored current)? Does it somehow have to do with energy
resolution?
Thank you in advance for your answers,
