Title: Strategies and limitations for fluorescence detection of XAFS at high flux beamlines

Abstract

The issue of detecting the XAFS signal from dilute samples is discussed in detail with the aim of making best use of high flux beamlines that provide up to 10(13)photonss(-1). Various detection methods are compared, including filters with slits, solid state detectors, crystal analyzers and combinations of these. These comparisons rely on simulations that use experimentally determined parameters. It is found that inelastic scattering places a fundamental limit on detection, and that it is important to take proper account of the polarization dependence of the signals. The combination of a filter-slit system with a solid state detector is a promising approach. With an optimized system good performance can be obtained even if the total count rate is limited to 10(7)Hz. Detection schemes with better energy resolution can help at the largest dilutions if their collection efficiency and count rate limits can be improved.
