The optical design of the NSRL undulator beamline is presented. The NSRL undulator has 29 periods of 9.2 cm that produce a photon energy of 7.7±124 eV with the fundamental and third harmonics at a ring energy of 800 MeV. The beamline consists of a typical Kirkpatrick±Baez prefocusing mirror system, a modi®ed spherical-grating monochromator (SGM) and a refocusing toroidal mirror. The monochromator has two including angles of 148 and 157 with two plane mirrors inserted into the entrance arm in order to cover the wide energy range with high grating diffraction ef®ciency. Calculation shows that the resolving power of the monochromator can be greater than 5000 with the slits fully opened and 20 000 with a 20 mm opening of the slits. The spot at the sample is about 1.5 (H) mm  0.5 (V) mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
