title: Grazing-incidence spectrometer on the SSPX spheromak.
abstract: The silver flat field spectrometer (SFFS) is a high-resolution grazing-incidence diagnostic for magnetically confined plasmas. It covers the wavelength range of 25-450 A with a resolution of Delta lambda=0.3 A full width at half maximum. The SFFS employs a spherical 1200 lines/mm grating for flat-field focusing. The imaging is done using a backilluminated Photometrics charge-coupled device camera allowing a bandwidth of around 200 A per spectrum. The spectrometer has been used for atomic spectroscopy on electron beam ion traps and for plasma spectroscopy on magnetic confinement devices. Here we describe the design of the SFFS and the spectrometer setup at the sustained spheromak physics experiment in Livermore.
