title: First results from the Canadian SGM beamline at SRC.
abstract: The first experimental results obtained from the Canadian SGM beamline at SRC (Synchrotron Radiation Centre, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) are reported. The beamline is based on the Dragon-type design, with a constant deviation angle, using photons from a second-generation bending-magnet light source. The medium-energy grating on this beamline covers a photon energy range from 240 to 700 eV, with a ruling density of 600 lines mm(-1). A maximum resolving power of approximately 10000 is achieved at a photon energy of approximately 400 eV. Gas-phase absorption spectra collected at the N, O and C K-edges are presented to demonstrate the excellent performance of this beamline. High-resolution absorption spectra of some C- and Ti-containing solid-state samples are also reported.
