HIGH-FLUX AND HIGH-RESOLUTION BEAMLINE FOR ELLIPTICALLY POLARIZED RADIATION IN THE VACUUM-ULTRAVIOLET AND SOFT-X-RAY REGIONS

A dedicated beamline with a broad energy range of photons and with high flux and a high degree of circular polarization has been designed for the ELETTRA storage ring. The beamline exploits the circularly polarized radiation produced by an electromagnetic elliptical wiggler and cover the (5-1200) eV photon energy range using a double-incidence spherical grating monochromator.
