A beamline for the x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) of SPring-8 Angstrom Compact LAser (SACLA) provides hard pulses in range 4.5–19.5 keV. Its optical system an optics hutch delivers a pink beam below 15 keV with either two double-mirror systems or monochromatic double-crystal monochromator. These XFEL beams are used various types measurement at experimental stations, e.g. diffraction, coherent diffraction imaging, spectroscopy and pump-and-probe measurement. The stations consist hutches...
A new soft X-ray beamline, BL07LSU, has been constructed at SPring-8 to perform advanced spectroscopy for materials science. The beamline is designed achieve high energy resolution (E/ΔE> 10000) and photon flux [>10(12) photons s(-1) (0.01% bandwidth)(-1)] in the range 250-2000 eV with controllable polarization.
