The outstanding design feature of an XPS microprobe Quantum 2000 is the double focussing ellipsoidally shaped quartz monochromator of the X-ray source. This device monochromatizes the Alk{alpha} radiation and refocuses the X-rays from the Al anode to the sample surface. This way, on one hand a variation of the diameter of the X-ray generating electron beam allows to vary the X-ray beam diameter on the sample surface. On the other hand a scanning of the electron beam across the Al anode scans the X-ray beam across the sample surface. The X-ray source was characterized in detail. The lateral dependency of the primary X-ray intensity and the peaks FWHM were measured as function of the position within the electrostatically rasterable scan area. Additionally, the focussing quality of the monochromator was determined. Therefore the lateral intensity distribution within the primary X-ray beam was estimated far below the 1% intensity level.

With the intention of creating a complete simulation of the Thick GEM detector, this work presents a partial simulation of the interaction of 6 keV X-Ray radiation with a gas volume. For the gas, it was used pure Argon, Xenon and CO2 as well as a mix
ture of each noble gas with CO2 in a 70%-30% proportion. For this range of energy, the dominant physical effect is the photoelectric, therefore knowing the binding energies of the atoms we predict the kinetic energy of the primary electron. A simulated energy spectrum of the primary electron kinetic energy was obtained, which contains peaks corresponding to the inner shells ionization of the atoms. The spectrum shows very little Compton effect, transferring only small energies (in the order of eVs). We concluded that energy spectrum for the mixture is a linear combination of the spectrum of its individual components.
A vacuum-compatible photon-counting hybrid pixel detector has been installed in the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) reflectometer of the four-crystal monochromator (FCM) beamline of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) at the electron storage ring
BESSY II in Berlin, Germany. The setup is based on the PILATUS3 100K module. The detector can be used in the entire photon energy range accessible at the beamline from 1.75 to 10 keV. Complementing the already installed vacuum-compatible PILATUS 1M detector used for small-angle scattering (SAXS) and grazing incidence SAXS (GISAXS), it is possible to access larger scattering angles. The water-cooled module is located on the goniometer arm and can be positioned from -90{deg} to 90{deg} with respect to the incoming beam at a distance of about 200 mm from the sample. To perform absolute scattering experiments the linearity, homogeneity and the angular dependence of the quantum efficiency, including their relative uncertainties, have been investigated. In addition, first results of the performance in wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray reflectometry (XRR) are presented.
X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a widely used X-ray diagnostic method. While synchrotrons have large communities of XAS users, its use on X-Ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) facilities has been rather limited. At a first glance, the relatively n
arrow bandwidth and the highly fluctuating spectral structure of XFEL sources seem to prevent high-quality XAS measurements without accumulating over many shots. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the collection of single-shot XAS spectra on an XFEL, with error bars of only a few percent, over tens of eV. We show how this technique can be extended over wider spectral ranges towards Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurements, by concatenating a few tens of single-shot measurements. Such results open indisputable perspectives for future femtosecond time resolved XAS studies, especially for transient processes that can be initiated at low repetition rate.
The GALAXIES beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron is dedicated to inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) and photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in the 2.3-12 keV hard x-ray range. These two techniques offer powerful, complementary methods of characterizatio
n of materials with bulk sensitivity, chemical and orbital selectivity, resonant enhancement and high resolving power. After a description of the beamline components and endstations, we address the beamline performances through a selection of recent works both in the solid and gas phases and using either IXS or HAXPES approaches. Prospects for studies on liquids are discussed.
We report on the development of a high-resolution and highly efficient beamline for soft-X-ray resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) located at Taiwan Photon Source. This beamline adopts an optical design that uses an active grating monochromato
r (AGM) and an active grating spectrometer (AGS) to implement the energy compensation principle of grating dispersion. Active gratings are utilized to diminish defocus, coma and higher-order aberrations as well as to decrease the slope errors caused by thermal deformation and optical polishing. The AGS is mounted on a rotatable granite platform to enable momentum-resolved RIXS measurements with scattering angle over a wide range. Several high-precision instruments developed in house for this beamline are briefly described. The best energy resolution obtained from this AGM-AGS beamline was 12.4 meV at 530 eV, achieving a resolving power 42,000, while the bandwidth of the incident soft X-rays was kept at 0.5 eV. To demonstrate the scientific impacts of high-resolution RIXS, we present an example of momentum-resolved RIXS measurements on a high-temperature superconducting cuprate, La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$. The measurements reveal the A$_{1g}$ apical oxygen phonons in superconducting cuprates, opening a new opportunity to investigate the coupling between these phonons and charge density waves.
