The SRXFA Station on the VEPP-4M Storage Ring

Abstract

A description is given of the SRXFA synchrotron radiation station on the VEPP-4M storage ring at the Siberian Synchrotron and Terahertz Radiation Center. The station is intended to develop and implement SRXFA technology in the hard X-ray photon (40–120 keV) range. The main parameters of the station are given, along with its layout, its monochromatic system, and its detector. The X-ray fluorescence spectrum obtained at the SRXFA station on the VEPP-4M storage ring at an excitation energy of 112 keV is presented. Results obtained at the station on the minimum detection limits for rare-earth elements are presented.
