- A commercial scientific camera has been adapted and characterized at the SOLEIL Synchrotron with the aim to improve the acquisition capabilities on the soft X-ray coherent scattering experimental station at SEXTANTS beamline. This device is equipped by the last generation of back side illuminated scientific CMOS (BSI-sCMOS) of 2048 by 2048 pixels of 11 μm2 able to acquire low noise images with a frame rate up to 48 Hz. The camera's performance measurements have been done and shows a good level of readout noise, a large full-well capacity, a medium dark current and a good homogeneity, respectively, 1.6 e- rms (in High Gain mode), 80 000 e- (in Low Gain mode),<5 e-/pixel/s and ∼ 1%. The quantum efficiency (QE) measurement has been performed at the soft x-ray branch of the METROLOGIE beamline and gives a relatively good agreement with the expected theoretical values. Finally, the demonstration of the camera's efficiency and of the gain in useful time measurement related to the high frame rate have been performed with a series of Airy patterns images compared with an image recorded using the standard BSI-CDD already in operation at the SEXTANTS beamline.

- Measurements with a Diamond XBPM were carried out at the MAX IV Laboratory, Lund, Sweden, at the NanoMAX beam line. This was the first investigation of a Diamond XBPM detector with nanometre beams. The effect of diffusion, as well as the position resolution at the smallest available beam sizes were studied.

- Small gap wigglers become more and more attractive to produce high photon fluxes in the hard X-ray photon range. They use magnet blocks of high magnetization which resists much better to heating (baking, synchrotron radiation) than in the past, produce high magnetic field with numerous periods and are very compact. They also are a very good alternative to superconducting technology which requires special infrastructure, heavy maintenance and is not running cost free. SOLEIL, operating presently at 2.75 GeV has designed and built an in-vacuum wiggler of 38 periods of 50 mm producing 2.1 T at a minimum gap of 5.5 mm to delivered photon beam between 20 keV and 50 keV. Already in operation, further improvements are presently in progress to push photons towards higher energy, in particular thanks to the operation at lower gap (4.5 mm). MAX IV and SOLEIL, in the frame of collaboration, ave built an upgraded version of the existing SOLEIL wiggler with the target to extend the spectral range at high energy (above 50 keV) but also at low energy (4 keV) with the same insertion device. The design of the existing magnetic system has been modified to reach 2.4 T at a minimum gap of 4.2 mm and includes taper operation to avoid undulator structure in the radiated spectrum at low energy.

Percival : A soft x-ray imager for synchrotron rings and free electron lasers

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we are presenting the Percival detector, a monolithic CMOS Imager for detection of soft x-rays in Synchrotron Rings and Free Electron Lasers. The imager consists in a 2D array of many (2M) small (27um pitch) pixels, without dead or blind zones in the imaging area. The imager achieves low noise and high dynamic range by means of an adaptive-gain in-pixel circuitry, that has been validated on prototypes. The imager features on-chip Analogue-to-Digital conversion to 12+1 bits, and has a readout speed which is compatible with most of Free Electron Laser Facilities. For direct detection of low-energy x-rays, the imager is back-illuminated and post-processed to achieve 100% fill factor.

X-ray tracing, design and construction of an optimized optics scheme for CoSAXS, the small angle x-ray scattering beamline at MAX IV laboratory

- A novel optical design for a flexible SAXS beamline at a modern synchrotron has been implemented for the CoSAXS beamline at the 3GeV ring at the MAX TV Laboratory. The performance of the beamline has been simulated through combined ray tracing and wave propagation with the code xrt taking into account the low emittance and highly coherent beam of MAX TV and the short inter-optics distances of the beamline. The total photon flux is estimated to be 1012-1013 ph/s with the coherent flux portion up to 10 % at 7.1 keV. The inhomogeneities in the X-ray beam arising from use of real (non-idealised) mirror surfaces are also modelled using the measured slope profiles of the mirrors. Strategies to mitigate these inhomogeneities are discussed. The optical components for CoSAXS have been constructed and beamline commissioning will start in 2019.

The new dedicated HAXPES beamline P22 at PETRAIII

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new undulator beamline (P22) for hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) was built at PETRA III (DESY, Hamburg) to meet the increasing demand for HAXPES-based techniques. It provides four special instruments for high-resolution studies of the electronic and chemical structure of functional nano-materials and catalytic interfaces, with a focus on measurements under operando and/or ambient conditions: (i) a versatile solid-state spectroscopy setup with optional wide-angle lens and in-situ electrical characterization, (ii) a HAXPEEM instrument for sub-µm spectro-microscopy applications, (iii) an ambient pressure system (> 1 bar) for operando studies of catalytic reactions and (iv) a time-of-flight spectrometer as a full-field k-microscope for measurements of the 4D spectral function ρ(EB,k). The X-ray optics were designed to deliver high brightness photon flux within the HAXPES energy range 2.4 – 15 keV. An LN2-cooled double-crystal monochromator with interchangeable pairs of Si(111) and (311) crystals is optionally combined with a double channel-cut post-monochromator to generate X-rays with variable energy bandpass adapted to the needs of the experiment. Additionally, the beam polarization can be varied using a diamond phase plate integrated into the beamline. Adaptive beam focusing is realized by Be compound refractive lenses and/or horizontally deflecting mirrors down to a spot size of ∼20x17 µm2 with a flux of up to 1.1x1013 ph/s (for Si(111) at 6 keV).

- An overview of the insertion devices (ID) activities at MAX IV Laboratory will be presented. This paper describes the current status of the MAX IV insertion devices and the first commissioning results of some of the first 12 IDs installed at the three accelerators in MAX IV laboratory. The IDs are two Elliptically Polarizing Undulators (EPU), two In-Vacuum Undulators (IVU) and one In-vacuum wiggler installed at 3 GeV ring, four EPUs and one planar undulator in the 1.5 GeV ring and 2 IVUs at the Short pulse facility installed at the 3 GeV Linear accelerator for spontaneous emission. The impact of the first commissioned IDs on the electron beam in terms of orbit distortion and machine optics and the correction schemes to reduce these effects are described. The comparison between collected spectra from few beamlines and estimated photon flux based on magnetic field measurement maps is presented.
