MUSIX

MUSIXMulti-dimensional Spectroscopy and Inelastic X-ray scattering

The flexible MUSIX end-station is a platform for hosting many different experiments at various free-electron laser or synchrotron beam lines. It equips a scattering chamber and a spectrometer that are designed to conduct multi-dimensional scattering and spectroscopy. The scattering chamber (radius = 279 mm) has the co-axial rotation stage that couples the sample rotation angle (theta) and detecting rotation angle (two theta). A spectrometer for the soft X-ray (50-1000 eV) with a resolving power ~2000 can be attached upon the scattering chamber that is also rotated along the sample rotation axis. According to target requests, optional detection approaches like the resonance X-ray scattering (RXS), resonance inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and µm X-ray imagine can be performed.
