NSLS-II Seminar

"Canadian Light Source and the REIXS Beamline"

Presented by Feizhou He, Canadian Light Source, Saskatoon, Canada

Friday, August 13, 2010, 10:30 am — NSLS-II Seminar Room, Bldg. 817

Canadian Light Source, located at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, is Canada's national synchrotron research facility. Since the commencement of the operation in 2004, it now has 13 operational beamlines, and 6 more under construction.

The REIXS beamline at CLS is a new soft X-ray scattering facility for elastic and inelastic x-ray scattering experiments. With two elliptical polarizing undulators (EPU) in the same straight section, the REIXS beamline can produce photons of various polarizations, and is capable of rapidly switching the polarizations. In the commissioning tests, the beamline has demonstrated high energy resolution, good beam flux, and excellent reliability.

The REIXS beamline has two permanent endstations. The Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering (RSXS) endstation has started to generate very good scientific data since November 2009, and is now accepting general user proposals. The X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) endstation is in the final stage of assembling and will start commissioning soon.
