Notes:
The undulator based beamline X13A at the National Synchrotron Light Source has been commissioned recently. The X13 undulator has an 8 cm period, and its first harmonic is in the energy range of 200–700 eV at the nominal ring energy of 2.5 GeV. The beamline uses horizontally deflecting optics. It consists of a SiC plane mirror, a water cooled entrance slit, a spherical grating, and two fixed exit slits. A flux of more than 1012 photons/s at 450 eV has been measured at X13A with an aluminum-oxide photodiode with a 200 μm entrance slit, a 500 μm exit slit, and a ring current of 242 mA. A VF3 absorption spectrum recorded at X13A shows the monochromator resolving power is at least 1000 at ∼500 eV with 30 μm entrance and exit slits, in agreement with calculations. The X13A beamline will be used for x-ray coherence studies, spectroscopy, and multilayer reflectivity measurements as well as for x-ray instrumentation diagnostics. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
