I20; the Versatile X-ray Absorption spectroscopy beamline at Diamond Light Source

High-brightness Beamline for X-ray Spectroscopy at the Advanced Light Source

High-resolution spectroscopy on an X-ray absorption beamline.

A bent-crystal spectrometer based on the Rowland circle geometry has been installed and tested on the BM30b/FAME beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility to improve its performances. The energy resolution of the spectrometer allows different kinds of measurements to be performed, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy, resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and X-ray Raman scatteri...

LISA: the Italian CRG beamline for x-ray Absorption Spectroscopy at ESRF

LISA is the acronym of Linea Italiana per la Spettroscopia di Assorbimento di raggi X (Italian beamline for X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy) and is the upgrade of the former GILDA beamline installed on the BM08 bending magnet port of European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Within this contribution a full description of the project is provided.

SAMBA: The 4–40 keV X-ray absorption spectroscopy beamline at SOLEIL

The SAMBA X-ray Absorption beamline has been operating for users since January 2008. The beamline covers a large energy range from 4 up to 40 keV in two working modes: a “high flux” mode using a sagittally focusing monochromator and a “time-resolved” mode using a dedicated Quick-EXAFS monochromator. Herein a technical description of the main beamline components is given and results concerning e...

Optical design of the Short Pulse Soft X-ray Spectroscopy beamline at the Advanced Photon Source

The Short Pulse X-ray facility planned for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade will provide two sectors with photon beams having picosecond pulse duration. The Short Pulse Soft X-ray Spectroscopy (SPSXS) beamline will cover the 150-2000 eV energy range using an APS bending magnet. SPSXS is designed to take full advantage of this new timing capability in addition to providing circular polar...
