A drawing of the ASDS. (a) The ASDS mounted at the FinEstBeAMS beamline, with colored arrows indicating the directions of the photon beam, particle beam and electron detection (the photoelectron spectrometer), and black arrows indicating the coordinate system. (b) The ASDS from a side view, placed on the custom-made support table. (c) A top view of the ASDS in cross section. The ASDS consists of two vacuum chambers: the source chamber (SC) and the differential pumping chamber (DC). The differential pumping chamber is connected to the interaction chamber (IC, not seen here). Each chamber is separated by a skimmer (SK and SK′). The aerosol enters the ASDS through the valve (V), and travels through the relaxation tube and the ADL that is mounted on the xyz manipulator (M). |
