Source Type Mini-Gap Undulator (MGU) Optical System 0 meters: Source – MGU
11 meters: Motorized vertical and horizontal slits
20 meters: Monochromator chamber (can be manually lowered for white-beam operation) consisting of in order from upstream: i) 254 m thick Be window ii) 2 mm or 4 mm vertical slit ladder with or without graphite filter iii) Si(111) double-crystal monochromator, iv) Water-cooled copper white beam stop
Inside X13B Hutch:
24.5 meters: 254 m Be window
25.5 meters: Refractive optics or KB x-ray micro-focusing mirrors. The KB mirrors are 10 cm long vertical and horizontal differentially gold-coated at 3.8 mrad fixed incidence angle. Working distance ~ 23 cm Experimental Apparatus Sample goniometer and detector arm. Detectors consist of Amptek energy-dispersive detectors, Bicrons, silicon photodiodes. Computer System Hardware & Software VME (non GPIB or serial), and PC interfaced serial and GPIB systems. EPICS (running on the Motorola VME CPU and soft-PC ). SPEC user interface Frame grabber allowing experimental visualization. Windows and Linux operating systems.
