The Endstations

Endstation B

This endstation is located at the end of the branch B where the spot dimensions on the sample are about 350x40 micron². The experimental set-up is dedicated to experiments in operando at the interface liquid/solid by XAS in fluorescence.
The end-station has been assembled and installed in 2022. It is a standard mu-metal chamber of 306 mm diameter, pumped through two 100 l/sec turbo pumps directly mounted on top flanges of the chamber and connected to the beam-line through a liquid nitrogen trap. The LN2-trap has been designed and implemented to decrease the pressure in the chamber by pumping the residual gases and to minimize the potential leakage of liquid towards the beamline, as this could pose a significant risk to the vacuum conditions.
