Materials science EXAFS line at the NSLS: characterization and initial operations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6117860
The characterization and initial operation of a materials science EXAFS beam line at the NSLS is described. This line has a unique combination of components including a 4-crystal focusing monochromator and SiC collimating mirror. Discussion of the monochromator will include a comparison with conventional two crystal designs and techniques for maintaining crystal alignment during EXAFS scans. The dispersive nature of the monochromator also allows a measurement of the NSLS emittance which appears to be near design values. This means significant intensity gains can be realized with a collimating mirror which is planned as a future addition to the beam line optics. Some experimental results will be used to demonstrate the capabilities of the beam line. 5 refs.
