8. Design Goals Optimize for study of Oxygen at 520 eV Best energy resolution (grating) of 0.25 eV – Also allow high-throughput resolution up to 1 eV for certain applications Imaging resolution (mirror): – Time-resolved XES: 10 um on source, corresponding to 30 fs – Variable-energy RIXS: 200 um on source, corresponding to 0.25 eV 8

9. Ray tracing - SHADOW Simulated spectrometer’s performance: – Mirror position, shape, incidence angle – Illumination distance of mirror, grating

10. Final Design 10

11. Results of Ray-Tracing 1:10 imaging, ideal elliptical shape are best choices for non-dispersive focusing mirror Determine maximum length on grating, mirror that can be illuminated keeping required resolution Large source sizes (sample footprints) are not imaged well 11

12. Monochromator Dispersion on sample for θ=12° LCLS SXR: 1 eV/mm SSRL BL 13: 10 eV/mm Ideally, want higher eV/mm at smaller angle θ 12

13. Conclusions This design is capable of: – Time-resolved XES – Variable-energy RIXS SXR at normal incidence (bulk measurements) BL 13 SSRL, grazing incidence (allows surface chemistry experiments) To observe surface reactions using RIXS at LCLS SXR, need modifications to monochromator or new BL at LCLS-II 13
