UE46_MAXYMUS

UE46_MAXYMUS is a undulator beamline optimized for producing high coherent flux of soft x-rays with selectable polarization using its APPLE2 type undulator, which is followed by a plane grating monochromator using a 600 lines/mm blazed grating. To create fully coherent light a pair of exit slits creates a virtual source of selectable size in the exit slit plane, on which it is centered using an automated beam position feedback system. The only endstation at this beamline is the MAXYMUS STXM.
