BL8-2

    Overview
    SPEAR3

    Spectroscopy Endstation, Bending Magnet, 4.0 mrad Acceptance

    Beam line 8-2 can be used to probe a wide range of core levels using photoemission and x-ray absorption spectroscopies. At BL 8-2, currently only one end-stations is available for the general user program. The first end-station is a high throughput setup for soft x-ray spectroscopy measurement – upgrades in progress include a fixed position multipurpose chamber with a load lock system for high throughput sample loading, capable of probing a wide range of materials with absorption and photoemission techniques.
