Cornell high-energy synchrotron source CHESS

X-ray Instrumentation. All experiments were performed at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) operated at 5.8 GeV (Stations A-3, B and C-2). Monochromatic radiation was obtained with a Si (220) double crystal monochromator. In order to eliminate higher harmonics, 50% detunning was typically employed. ... 

The transmission extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra were collected on the A-2, C-1, and C-2 stations of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). Data reduction followed a standard procedure of pre-edge and post-edge background removal, extraction of the EXAFS oscillations taking the Fourler-transform of and finally applying an inverse transform...
