X-ray absorption beamline at the Mitsubishi compact storage ring.
Beamline #5 (BL#5) at the Mitsubishi compact storage ring (MELCO-SR) is a beamline designed to perform X-ray absorption experiments in the 1-5 keV energy range. MELCO-SR is a racetrack-type storage ring with compact superconducting magnets, which is operated at 600 MeV, mainly for X-ray lithography experiments. As the ring is set in a shield wall of 2 m thickness, a point just outside the shield wall of BL#5 is located at 6.8 m from the source point. A small toroidal mirror, located inside the shield wall at 3.4 m from the source, focuses the beam vertically and horizontally onto the 7.3 m point. This simple optical configuration allows us to bring the source point outside of the shield wall, and to collect about 10 mrad horizontally and maintain small footprints on the monochromator crystal. A new 'Cowan type' monochromator, located at 7.4 m from the source and selected for simplicity of design and for stability, will provide a bright high-resolution and stable X-ray beam for use in the X-ray spectroscopy of electronic materials in MELCO.
