EMIL
Beamline Performance Data
The optical performance of the EMIL beamline was intensively calculated with RAY [1].
The spot sizes are approximately 45 × 10 µm² and 120 x 10 µm² for the soft and hard branch, respectively.
The angular ranges of both the plane grating monochromators are up to 15.3° for the mirror and 19.1° for the gratings.
This allows for a wide operating energy range without grating change. At the standard cff-factor (2.25) the usable energy range is 70 – 2000 eV.
The performance for the endstations SISSY-I, SISSY-II and CAT will be similar.
Figure 1 shows the estimated resolving power (left side) and photon flux at sample position (right side) for the soft X-ray beamline as a function of energy and cff-factor.php
