Calculating SR3 hot radius of curvature

[D. Kapasi, S. Dwyer]

We can calculate the SR3 hot radius of curvature (sr3_roc_hot) from the HWS measurements [1] and readback heater power for SR3 [2].

In our case - 
sr3_roc_cold = 36.013; % radius of curvature in m [3].
Therefore, 2*(1.0735e-05) = 2/36.013 - 2/sr3_roc_hot -> sr3_roc_hot = 36.027 m.
