Tóm tắt

The variable line spacing plane grating monochromator beamline at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) employs three grazing incidence variable line spacing gratings to cover a photon energy range of 5–250eV. It uses a 185mm period length planar permanent magnet insertion device as the photon source, sharing a straight section with another soft x-ray beamline at the CLS. The commissioning and performance of the beamline is reported. The high resolution photoabsorption spectra of Ar and PF5 gases are reported. A resolving power of over 40 000 for photons in the low energy region and >10000 for a wider energy range (8–200eV) can be achieved. A photon flux of up to 2×1012photons∕sper100mA with slit settings of 50μm has been measured.
