INSTALLATION OF GLOVEBOX-INTEGRATED XES SPECTROMETER

May 1, 2019

The glovebox-integrated XES spectrometer was successfully installed into the inert atmosphere glovebox, and the entire system was successfully integrated into the SXRMB beamline. The technical goals of achieving X-ray emission spectroscopy measurements in the tender energy range of both phosphorus and sulfur at a resolution ~1 eV or better have been clearly demonstrated.  The RIXS and higher energy capabilities (up to Ni K-edge) were also demonstrated using this system.
