How an SXAS experiment runs: from sample to spectrum
The SXAS formulae are short. The time goes into beamtime, vacuum, and the sample. What follows is the shape of a typical synchrotron soft X-ray experiment. It is a process note, not a claim that a particular beamline has already been measured. 1. Write the proposal, then wait for timeA synchrotron station is not walk-up. Users submit a proposal: the scientific question, why this edge is required, the sample form, the polarisation, temperature, or in-situ environment, and how many edges will ...
