A New XAFS Beamline NW10A at the Photon Factory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new XAFS beamline NW10A using bending magnet radiation from 6.5 GeV PF-AR has been constructed. NW10A consists of a Si(311) double crystal monochromator and a Pt-coated bent cylindrical focusing mirror and provides focused X-ray beam between 8 and 42 keV. The obtained flux through a 1mm square slit is 1×10 ph/s at 20 keV and 7×10 ph/s at 30keV, which are 20 and 200 times more intense than obtained at BL-10B. Platinum K-edges do not degrade the quality of XAFS spectra when higher orders are properly reduced. High quality Ce K-edge XAFS spectra are easily obtained.

BL-17A is a new structural biology beamline at the Photon Factory, Japan. The high-brilliance beam, derived from the new short-gap undulator (SGU#17), allows for unique protein crystallographic experiments such as data collection from microcrystals and structural determination using softer X-rays. However, microcrystal experiments require robust beam stability during data collection and minor f...
