title: Soft X-ray beamline specialized for actinides and radioactive materials equipped with a variably polarizing undulator.
abstract: This report presents the design of an undulator beamline at SPring-8 to be used for soft X-ray spectroscopy focused on radioactive materials. Photoemission spectroscopy experiments are carried out in a radioisotope (RI)-controlled area where actinide compounds as well as unsealed radioactive materials are usable. Intrusion of the radioactive materials into the electron storage ring or to the outside of the evacuated beamline components can be avoided by a specially devised RI protection/inspection mechanism. The combination of a variably polarizing undulator and a varied-line-spacing plane-grating monochromator provides linearly or circularly polarized soft X-rays with a high resolving power in the energy range 0.28-1.5 keV. The beamline will become operational in December 1997.
