Implementation of continuous XES scanning. At the beginning, the spectrometer is set to the relevant emission energy, typically in the middle of the scanning range. The detector is then positioned outside of the intersecting Rowland circles to separate the individual SBCA reflections, as explained in the main text. The order of SBCA reflections is inverted on the detector sensor with respect to the SBCA arrangement. The scan is performed by asynchronously moving the SBCA pitch motors according to the user-supplied trajectory while collecting images with the Pilatus 100K detector using an external trigger source. The data consist of the image stream, individual SBCA positioning streams and ion-chamber currents (not shown). The coordinate system of the beamline is given for reference. |
