Abstract

A new beamline is now operational at LURE on bending-magnet 7 of the SuperACO storage ring in Orsay. The monochromator is of the 'dragon' type, designed to work in the energy range 1500 eV, and is equipped with a double vertical focusing mirror in order to allow for fast switching of light polarization. In this paper the results of photoion-yield experiments performed on N2, Ar and Ne gases are presented. The observed resonance structures enable us to determine the available energy resolution: a resolving power higher than 8500 is obtained at the Ar 2p, N 1s and Ne K-edges when using all the optical elements at full aperture. The total flux as a function of the measured photon energy resolution and the characterization of the double-head behaviour in delivering circularly polarized light are reported.
