Abstract

A high resolution soft X-ray monochromator for the 550 MeV MAX storage ring is described. The instrument combines a plane elliptical premirror collecting a large (10 mrad) horizontal angle of radiation and a modified version of the well-known SX-700 plane grating monochromator (PGM). The modification consists of changing the original ellipsoidal focussing mirror to a plane elliptical mirror. Thereby the horizontal and vertical focussing are decoupled and good imaging properties are obtained irrespective of the large horizontal acceptance angle. The MAX-PGM will be part of an experimental station for photoelectron, photoabsorption and photon stimulated ion desorption spectroscopy.
