Relationship between the measurement time required to acquire an XAFS spectrum in extension of the EXAFS region (spectrum time resolution) and the photon count per point, for different beamlines and measurement types. The photon-energy range is 8.03–9.57 keV (Ni K edge), with 530 points, and the photon count per point is normalized to match the number of points by step-scan XAFS. The region (i) in the figure assumes that there is an overhead of 0.5 s per spectral-measurement point during the monochromator and undulator-gap scanning when the incident X-ray flux is in the range of 1 × 1010–1 × 1013  photons s−1. The regions (ii)–(v) in the figure are classified based on the following references: (ii) QXAFS with DCM at bending magnet (BM) beamlines, or with fixed undulator gap (Nomura et al., 2007View full citation; Dent et al., 2009View full citation; Uruga et al., 2009View full citation; Liu et al., 2012View full citation; Okajima et al., 2013View full citation; Mathon et al., 2015View full citation; Tabuchi et al., 2016View full citation; Chu et al., 2017View full citation); (iii) super QXAFS with CCM at BM/wiggler beamlines (Stötzel et al., 2008View full citation; Khalid et al., 2011View full citation; Müller et al., 2016View full citation); (iv) super QXAFS with CCM, and tapered and fixed undulator gap (Nonaka et al., 2012View full citation; Ishiguro et al., 2014View full citation, 2016View full citation; Ozawa et al., 2018View full citation; Caliebe et al., 2019View full citation; Bornmann et al., 2019View full citation; Uruga et al., 2019View full citation); and (v) undulator-gap synchronized QXAFS with DCM (Krempaský et al., 2010View full citation; Izquierdo et al., 2012View full citation; Chernikov et al., 2016View full citation; Hidas et al., 2022View full citation). The present work corresponds to the pink star, achieving both the shortest acquisition time and the highest photon flux among reported undulator-gap synchronized QXAFS systems.
