R. Reininger et al., A PLANE GRATING MONOCHROMATOR FOR THE NEW UNDULATOR AT ALADDIN - 8-240 EV, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 347(1-3), 1994, pp. 304-307
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.
