For the European XFEL an x-ray split- and delay-unit (SDU) is built covering photon energies from 5 keV up to 20 keV. This SDU will enable time-resolved x-ray pump / x-ray probe experiments as well as sequential diffractive imaging on a femtosecond to picosecond time scale. The set-up is based on geometric wavefront beam splitting. The x-ray FEL pulses will be split by a sharp edge of a silicon mirror coated with Mo/B4C multilayers for photon energies above 10 keV and W/B4C below 10 keV. Both partial beams will then pass variable delay lines. For different wavelengths the angle of incidence onto the multilayer mirrors will be adjusted in order to match the Bragg condition. At a photon energy of 20 keV the reflectance of a Mo/B4C multilayer coating with a multilayer period of 3.2 nm and N = 200 layers under a Bragg-angle of 0.57∘ amounts to R = 0.92. For a photon energy of 5 keV the reflectance of a W/B4C coating with a multilayer period of 4 nm is R = 0.73. Because of the different incidence angles, the path lengths of the beams will vary as a function of wavelength between ± 3.7 ps at 20 keV and up to ± 40 ps at 5 keV.
