Development of a differential pumping system for soft X-ray beamlines for windowless experiments under normal atmospheric conditions.
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel design for a differential pumping system has been investigated. This system allows windowless experiments in a soft X-ray beamline under normal atmospheric conditions. The new design consists of an aperture-based four-stage differential pumping system, based on a simple model calculation. A prototype system with a total length of 600 mm was constructed to confirm the validity of the design concept. Relatively short conductance-limiting components allow easy installation and alignment of the system on a synchrotron beamline. The fabricated system was installed on a beamline to test the transmission of soft X-rays through atmospheric helium.

Development of optical choppers for time-resolved measurements at soft X-ray synchrotron radiation beamlines
Two types of optical choppers for time-resolved measurements at synchrotron radiation soft X-ray beamlines have been developed. One type uses an air-spindle-type rotation mechanism with a two-stage differential pumping system to maintain the ultra-high vacuum of the X-ray beamline, and the other uses a magnetic bearing. Both can be installed at the soft X-ray beamlines at SPring-8, greatly impr...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملX-ray attenuation cell
To minimize the pulse-to-pulse variation, the LCLS FEL must operate at saturation, i.e. 10 orders of magnitude brighter spectral brilliance than 3-generation light sources. At this intensity, ultra-high vacuums and windowless transport are required. Many of the experiments, however, will need to be conducted at a much lower intensity thereby requiring a reliable means to reduce the x-ray intens...
متن کاملPreplasma conditions for collisional Mo soft x-ray lasers with the grazing incidence pumping scheme
By comparing soft x-ray spectra from experiments with numerical calculation results, the preformed plasma medium was characterized for Mo 18:9 nm x-ray lasers with the grazing incidence pumping scheme. The effects of prepulse intensities and durations on the charge state distributions as well as other parameters of preformed plasmas were investigated for previously demonstrated soft x-ray laser...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Compact XAFS Measurement Chamber under Atmospheric Pressure in the Soft X-ray Region
We have developed a compact experimental set-up for X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements in He gas under atmospheric pressure (AP) in the soft X-ray region and used it for Mg and Cl K-edge XAFS measurements of MgCl2 and MgCl2・6H2O. The spectra of MgCl2・6H2O measured in He under AP were significantly different from those measured in vacuum. This suggests the importance of performi...
