OPTICAL and BEAMLINE CONFIGURATION
 | Primary Aperture :
7.4 m from source. |
 | Be Windows :
front end : 0.010" thick; 8.6 m from source ; exit window: 0.020" thick. |
 | Monochromator :
Double crystal monochromator with fixed exit geometry; Bragg angle range is 7.55 degrees - 28 degrees; sagitally focusing Si(111) crystals, high precision rotary energy scale; operates in high vacuum;
located 9.6meters from the source. Si (220) crystals are planned for the future. |
 | Mirror :
For harmonics rejection and vertical focusing (0.08 mm FWHM); flat cylindrically bent mirror;
independent choice of mirror angle and focal length; located 11 meters from the source. |
EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS
 | Radiation hutch :
Located 13 meters from the source; 3 meters long and approximately
2.5 meters wide. |
 | MAR 165mm CCD
Detector equipped with motorized Z-lift for 2-theta. |
 | Phi axis has Z-translation.
Hence, pin length is not a restriction. |
