High flux and high resolution beamline for elliptically polarized radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft x-ray regions

Abstract

A dedicated beamline with a broad energy range of photons and with high flux and a high degree of circular polarization has been designed for the ELETTRA storage ring. The beamline exploits the circularly polarized radiation produced by an electromagnetic elliptical wiggler and cover the (5–1200) eV photon energy range using a double-incidence spherical grating monochromator.
