Beamline layout and performance
Beamline layout:
Schematic layout of the beamline ID14. OH1, OH2 - optics hutches, EH1, EH2, EH3, and EH4 - experimental hutches, HPPS - high power primary slit, CRL - focusing and collimating compound refractive lenses, HHLM - high heat-load monochromator, HRMs - high-resolution monochromators, SMS - synchrotron Mössbauer source, KBM - Kirkpatrick–Baez mirror, CRYO - cryomagnetic system.
The layout of the beamline ID14 is schematically shown in Figure.
- The first optics hutch (OH1) houses the high heat-load monochromator (HHLM), high power primary slit (HPPS), and various absorbers, monitors and a secondary slit (not shown). Compound refractive lenses (CRL) for collimation and focusing are before and after the HHLM.
- The synchrotron Mössbauer source (SMS), high resolution monochromator(s) (HRM) for Fe (Fe-HRM) and for high energy nuclear transitions (HE-HRM), and the Spectrograph are installed in the second optics hutch (OH2) which is temperature stabilized down to <0.1K. Furthermore, collimating and focusing CRLs and monitors complete the set-up.
At ID14 the experimental hutches are utilized as follows:
- The first experimental hutch (EH1) is a generic experimental hutch.
Nuclear resonance diffraction experiments, catalysis and electrochemistry experiments usually take place in this experimental hytch.
A six-circle diffractometer (HUBER) for vertical as well as for horizontal scattering geometry is operational. - The second experimental hutch (EH2) is devoted to investigations of samples in a cryomagnet system under extreme conditions as temperature, pressure, and magnetic field.
- The third experimental hutch (EH3) is devoted to high resolution spectroscopy experiments.
The sample environment for spectrograph and the setup of a "real" backscattering monochromator are located in this hutch. - The fourth experimental hutch (EH4) which is temperature stabilized down to <0.1K is devoted nanosized beam.
A nanoscope for 57Fe nuclear resonance scattering is currently operational.
The space for two additional nanoscopes dedicated to high energy nuclear resonance transition is reserved in this experimental hutch.
