General information
The Inner Shell Spectroscopy beamline (8-ID) is a damping wiggler beamline dedicated to hard X-ray spectroscopy studies. The technical specifications of the beamline can be found in J. Synchrotron Rad. (2022). 29, 1095–1106.
Available methods
- X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)
- Energy range 4.8 - 31 keV (nominal range up to 35 keV; please contact beamline staff if interested)
- Beam size 1 mm × 1 mm (down to 50 µm × 50 µm with focusing optics)
- Detection with ion chambers, silicon diode (PIPS), and 4-element Silicon Drift Diode (SDD) detector
- High energy resolution fluorescence-detected (HERFD) XAS
- X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) in Johann or von Hamos geometry
- Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS, Resonant XES)
Sample environments
- Clausen (capillary) cell
- Jet liquid sample delivery system
- He closed-cycle cryostat (6K and above)
- Cryostream – available from the equipment pool
