1. Outline
This beamline covers the lower photon energy range of the vacuum ultraviolet region. Due to a large acceptance angle of bending radiation, a high flux photon is supplied with a relatively high monochromaticity. A schematic of optical system is shown in Fig. 1. Bending radiation is focused with the two pre-mirrors, M1 and M2, onto an entrance slit, S1, dispersed with a 3-m concave diffraction grating, and finally refocused with the M3 and M4 mirrors to the focusing point (FP).

2. Performance
Optical system : cf. attached figure
Energy region : 5-40 eV ( for a 1200-grooves/mm grating) When a 2400-grooves/mm grating is used, the energy region is 10-40 eV.
Resolution : （E/ΔE）=3×104 @100 nm with a 2400-grooves/mm grating
Beamsize : 3mm(H)×1mm(V)
Flux : 1012photons/sec . Flux with a 1200-grooves/mm grating is shown in Figure 2.

4. Miscellaneous
1) This beamline is equipped with a control system, which, beside the monochromator control, enables the users to carry out multi-channel scaling and pulse hight analysis.
2) The experimental station of this beamline is constructed on a mezzanine floor, and experimental apparatus can be lifted up by a crane.
3) There is a constraint for the physical size of the experimental apparatus brought in. Please contact the spokesperson before your application of the machine time.
