Design Goals • Optimize for study of Oxygen at 520 eV • Best energy resolution (grating) of 0.25 eV • Also allow high-throughput resolution up to 1 eV for certain applications • Imaging resolution (mirror): • Time-resolved XES: 10 um on source, corresponding to 30 fs • Variable-energy RIXS: 200 um on source, corresponding to 0.25 eV
Ray tracing - SHADOW • Simulated spectrometer’s performance: • Mirror position, shape, incidence angle • Illumination distance of mirror, grating
Results of Ray-Tracing 1:10 imaging, ideal elliptical shape are best choices for non-dispersive focusing mirror Determine maximum length on grating, mirror that can be illuminated keeping required resolution Large source sizes (sample footprints) are not imaged well
Monochromator Ideally, want higher eV/mm at smaller angle θ Dispersion on sample for θ=12° LCLS SXR: 1 eV/mm SSRL BL 13: 10 eV/mm
Conclusions • This design is capable of: • Time-resolved XES • Variable-energy RIXS • SXR at normal incidence (bulk measurements) • BL 13 SSRL, grazing incidence (allows surface chemistry experiments) • To observe surface reactions using RIXS at LCLS SXR, need modifications to monochromatoror new BL at LCLS-II
