SYNCHROTRON RADIATION: FROM STORAGE RING TO A HARD X-RAY BEAMLINE

Abstract

In the present study, a general overview covering the consecutive steps, starting with the release of electrons from an electron source until the generation of synchrotron radiation, is presented. A brief introduction regarding the main characteristics and fundamental components of third generation light sources as well as the radiation characteristics of different Insertion Devices are discussed. Following a concise description of a typical hard X-ray synchrotron beamline, synchrotron radiation based X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy, which is a non-resonant inelastic hard X-ray technique, is explained. Finally, liquid water oxygen K-edge absorption spectrum recorded with a resolution of 0.8 eV at 10 keV utilizing X-ray Raman spectrometer at PETRA III facility of DESY is presented and compared to the spectrum from the literature measured by conventional X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
