The revolver undulator beamline BL15XU at SPring-8, which is the contract beamline of National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), was established for materials science using soft-and-hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). We have performed beamline reconstruction for further developments of the experiments in the research field of materials science. The flat double-crystal monochromator (DCM) with liquid nitrogen cooling, X-ray total reflection double-mirror system with (+,-) geometry, and high-energy-resolution channel-cut monochromator have been installed into the beamline. The refined beamline provides monochromatic X-rays from 2 to 36 keV. The improvement of the photon flux density at the XRD and XPS experimental stations was confirmed. The photon flux was estimated to be several 10{sup 12} photons/sec with {Delta}E/E of {approx}10{sup -4}.
