On the ID16 beamline are operating two different spectrometers with different characteristics that share the same sample goniometer. The two spectrometers can not be utilized simultaneously and one of the two have to be taken apart.

Horizontal Arm

The spectrometer consists of a 7-meter arm rotating in the horizontal plane and equipped with five spherical crystal analysers. With this spectrometer we have the capability to record spectra at five momentum transfers simultaneously.

Table below summarises the main characteristics of the ID16 beamline with this spectrometer.

Si(7,7,7) 13.840 7.6 ± .2 21.32 1 1 1.0 .1011
Si(8,8,8) 15.817 5.5 ± .2 24.4 1 1.07

Si(9,9,9) 17.794 3.0 ± .2 27.4 1 1.2

Si(12,12,12) 23.725 1.3 ± .1 36.5 1 1.6
5.109
Si(13,13,13) 25.704 1.0 ± .1 39.6 1 1.75 9.108

Energy indicate the photon incident energy; DeltaE is the total energy resolution; Qmax and Qmin indicate the maximum and minimum measurable momentum transfer; DeltaQ indicates the Q-spacing between adjacent analysers; the Photon Flux values are measured at the sample goniometer with the following experimental conditions: three 1.6 m U35 undulators; ring current: 200 mA; primary slits aperture: 1.6 mm (horizontal) x 0.6 mm (vertical); secondary slits aperture: completely open.

The Qmin depends strongly from the beam divergence (40 Murad hor. x 20 Murad ver.) and from the aperture of the slits in front of the first analyser.

Vertical Arm

The spectrometer consists of a 3-meter arm rotating in the vertical plane and equipped with only one spherical crystal analyser. This spectrometer allows to reach much high momentum transfer respect the horizontal spectrometer.

Table below summarises the main characteristics of the ID16 beamline with this spectrometer.

Si(7,7,7) 13.840 Division 10 124 1 1.0 .1011
Si(8,8,8) 15.817 Division 10 142 1 7.6.1010
Si(9,9,9) 17.794 4.5 Division 6 160 1 2.4.1010

Energy indicate the photon incident energy; DeltaE is the total energy resolution; Qmax and Qmin indicate the maximum and minimum measurable momentum transfer; the Photon Flux values are measured at the sample goniometer with the following experimental conditions: three 1.6 m U35 undulators; ring current: 200 mA; primary slits aperture: 1.6 mm (horizontal) x 0.6 mm (vertical); secondary slits aperture: completely open.

With the 3-m spectrometer the geometrical contribution to the DeltaE are relevant therefore the energy resolution improve by shortening the distance between sample and detector chamber. The momentum transfer resolution is set by motorized slits in front of the crystal analyser.

The Qmin depends strongly from the beam divergence (40 Murad hor. x 20 Murad ver.) and from the aperture of the slits in front of the first analyser.

The focal spot size at the sample is 250 Mum hor. x 150 Mum ver using the toroidal mirror
