Description

BL43LXU, the RIKEN Quantum NanoDynamics Beamline will be a world-leading facility using non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) to investigate atomic and electronic dynamics by directly probing the A2 contribution to the dynamic structure factor, S(Q,ω). Resolutions from <1 to ∼100 meV will be available via two spectrometers: a high-resolution instrument with a 10 m arm; and a medium-resolution instrument with a 2 m arm. Here we describe the status and over-all design of the beamline, including the source, which is expected to provide unprecedented flux and brilliance between 14.4 and 26 keV. First light is expected before the end of 2011. (author)
