Two kinds of monochromators covering the energy ranges 100-150 keV and approximately 300 keV have been designed for inelastic (Compton) scattering experiments at the elliptical multipole wiggler beamline, BL08W, of SPring-8. Finite-element analyses using ANSYS for bent crystals indicate that thermal problems are not serious for the 300 keV monochromator, while an energy spread of about 10(-3) for the 100-150 keV monochromator is possible in the centre of the crystal. Detailed calculations of X-ray interaction with the silicon crystal were performed. The results show that Compton scattering is a dominant process and deposits about 100 W continuously.
