Optics Hutch

The optics hutch (OH) is 8.7 m long and 3.2 m wide. The x-ray beam enters the hutch from a wall located at 23 m from the source. Along the beam we successively find a valve (RV0), a beam splitter, selecting 3 mrad of hard bending magnet radiation (0.8 T), a set of attenuators, and a pair of primary slits. The following components are a channelcut hard x-ray monochromator (40 keV- 100 keV), a standard double-crystal monochromator (6 keV- 60 keV), and soon, a double-multilayer monochromator (6 keV- 30 keV). When inserted into the beam they are deflecting the beam vertically. Each element can be inserted or removed without breaking the vacuum. When none are used, white beam can be propagated.

A shutter controls the introduction of the beam into the following hutch (EH1) physically separated from OH by a lead wall. Free space is available in-between the shutter and the last monochromator to accommodate a custom setup or to allow 1:1 imaging of the source.

You can found here information about the Beryllium Windows being used to seal off the vacuum areas of the beamline from the non-vacuum areas.
