Abstract
A comparative study on the expected performance of two monochromator d esigns for the new undulator beamline at the Aladdin storage ring is r eported. The undulator, a 3.5 m device, will cover the energy range 8- 240 eV in the first and third harmonic. The flux and resolution of a s tigmatic plane grating monochromator (PGM) equipped with an entrance s lit and of a spherical grating monochromator (SGM) with a movable exit slit were calculated analytically and by means of ray-tracings. The P GM design, tuned to a resolving power of 10(4), can deliver more than 10(12) photons/s at the sample position in the photon energy range 20- 170 eV. The illuminated spot size at the sample position will be less than 500 mum (horizontal) by 50 mum (vertical). This performance is no t achieved with the SGM design.
