Apparatus for high-resolution synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy combined with high-resolution medium-energy ion scattering, named `SORIS', has been developed for simultaneous investigations of electronic states and atomic structures on surfaces. For this purpose, a compact vacuum-ultraviolet beamline of photon energy from 5 to 700 eV has been designed for the small storage ring `Aurora' installed at Ritsumeikan University. Owing to the small electron-beam size in the storage ring, an energy resolution E/dE of >5000 can be obtained.
