Instrumentation

Beamline Characteristics

Energy Range Mono Crystal or Grating Resolution (ΔE/E) Flux Spot Size (mm) Total Angular Acceptance (mrad)
4 – 25 keV White Beam White Beam 4.16 x 1012 ph/sec (@ 4.9 keV, 100 mA, 2.5 GeV) 40.0H x 7.0V 2
6 – 17 keV Si(111) 0.002 Unmeasured 0.5H x 0.5V 2

Source Type
Bending magnet

Optical System
White Beam Mode: Slit-defined white radiation; capability of introducing various absorbers into beam path to modify spectral distribution.

Monochromator Mode: Constant offset double flat crystal (Golovchenko type) monochromator; first crystal is water-cooled; operates in the atmosphere; operates in tandem with multiple crystal topography camera downstream of monochromator; easily positioned in and out of beam path; located inside radiation hutch 21 meters from the source.

Focused and Monochromated: Cylindrically cut, rhodium coated, aluminum mirror mounted on a bender provides horizontal and vertical focusing. Si(111) installed in the hutch provides an ~1% bandpass.

Experimental Apparatus
Radiation hutch; five circle Huber goniometer with computer controlled robotic detector arm for positioning X-ray detectors; environmental chamber with beryllium exit and entrance windows; chamber mounts in eulerian cradle of white beam camera, remote manipulators, furnace, deformation stage; scintillation detectors; real-time X-ray television system; dark-room for development of X-ray films; Surface spectrometer installed in hutch.

Computer System Hardware & Software
Sun Ulta 5, Solaris 7 using SPEC for motor software.
