Source characteristics

Bend magnet
(2 horizontal mrad at 32 m from bend magnet)

Energy range

3 - 20 keV

Monochromator

None

Calculated flux (1.9 GeV, 400 mA)

2.7 x 10¹³ photons/sec/0.1%BW

A Si(111) 4-bounce monochromator is also available for high-energy-resolution experiments.

Endstation

Large hutch with optical table for experimental equipment

Characteristics

A large 10 cm x 1 cm white radiation beam is available. At present a silicon monochromator and a pair of grazing-incidence focusing mirrors are installed to produce a 1.5 x 2-µm spot that can be either white radiation or monochromatic (E/DE = 10⁴).

Scientific applications

Many different experiments have been done which use x-ray energies above 3 keV: past experiments include x-ray microdiffraction, micro-XAFS, LIGA, TXRF of silicon wafers, femtosecond timing, and testing of x-ray optical elements
