BL6-2a
Beamline 6-2a is a Wiggler radiation-based versatile experimental station designed for high-energy-resolution spectroscopy in the tender X-ray range (1.6–5.0 keV). The station features a Johansson-type x-ray spectrometer operating on a Rowland geometry with cylindrical Johansson analyzers, enabling sub-natural linewidth energy resolution (~0.32 eV at 2400 eV). This apparatus provides to the SSRL Users the unique capability of performing advanced spectroscopy (XES/HERFD-XAS/RIXS) studies for elements such as S, Cl, 4d metals, and 5f actinides.
