MUSIX

The flexible MUSIX (MUlti-dimensional Spectroscopy and Inelastic X-ray scattering) 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 co-axial rotation stages that couple 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 at the scattering chamber that is also rotated along the sample rotation axis. Upon request, optional detection approaches such as resonant X-ray scattering (RXS), resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and µm X-ray imaging can be realized.
