XRLM 1 Beamline (Port 2A)


Operated by:
Center for Advanced Microstructures & Devices (CAMD, Louisiana State University), and the
Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM, LaTech University)

 

A. Characteristics:
This beamline can operate in two modes - a 'white' light mode without any optics and a 'mirror' light mode.

'White' light mode

  • 'White' spectrum, no optics, 2 Beryllium windows, 1st window, 100 µm thick , 2nd window 120 µm thick
  • transmitted bandpass spectrum: 2.0 keV – 7 keV (10 keV @ 1.45 GeV)
  • vertically integrated power incident on to the mask (100 mA): 314 mW/mrad @ 1.3 GeV, 730 mW/mrad horizontal acceptance @ 1.45 GeV
  • source to exposure plane distance: 10.35 m.
  • horizontal acceptance at mask plane: 10 milliradians
  • horizontal beam width at the exposure plane: 104 mm.

'Mirror' light mode

  • 2 Si mirrors, coated with one layer of Cr (Cr thickness > 120 nm)
  • 1st mirror is water-cooled, 2nd mirror is un-cooled
  • grazing angle: 0.5 deg – 1.2 deg corresponding to 8.73 mrad – 21 mrad
  • distance source point – center 1st mirror: ~ 3 m
  • horizontal acceptance 1st mirror: ~ 14 mrad

Photon BPM

A photon BPM is installed in the front end section and provides actual information of the position of the photon beam during exposure.

C. Option

For temporary experiments other setups can be inserted into an approx. 1 m long section behind the 1st beryllium window. Experiments can be operated either in air or connect to the beryllium window with a CF 8" flange. Installation of these experiments is dependent upon exposure needs at the scanner and will be granted upon approval.
