The results of high‐heat‐load tests of indirectly cryogenically cooled silicon monochromators are presented. The measurements show that, provided that the total power absorbed by the crystal is less than ∼150 W, indirect cryogenically cooled silicon monochromators will perform well, with thermal‐ind...
