MicroXAS - X05LA: Environmental & Materials Sciences
The microXAS beamline will focus on X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) experiments requiring high spatial resolution. Furthermore, the beamline will host the FEMTO project that will allow investigations of time-dependent phenomena in the femtosecond time regime.
The design of the micro XAS beamline is conceptualized to yield monochromatic X-ray beams (5-20 keV) with high energy resolution combined with dynamic microfocusing capabilities. In this chapter a description of the key optical layout is provided and a status report of the microXAS beamline project is presented.
