Description: The beamline employs three diffraction gratings to provide users with a very bright, highly monochromatic photon beam, tunable between 250 and 2000 eV. The beamline is ideal for solid sample or gas phase spectroscopy but can be fitted with a variety of endstations.

Endstation(s):

• Absorption Chamber
• Gas Cell
• Scienta
• Time of Flight

Techniques:

• X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)
• X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)
• Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES)
• X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence (XEOL)
• Gas phase photoionization and TOF measurements

Optics: Two horizontal deflecting mirrors and one vertical focusing mirror direct the light from the undulator through the entrance slit and onto the selected grating. The three gratings, with line spacing of 600, 1100 and 1700 lines/mm, diffract the light through a movable exit slit. A pair of toroidal refocusing mirrors are used to focus the beam onto the sample areas.
