Standard beamline equipment

A monochromatic beam of X-rays with about 1 eV bandwidth is produced by the standard beamline equipment, the undulator and the high-heat-load premonochromator being the most important parts among them. Further monochromatiza-tion down to approximately the millielectronvolt bandwidth is achieved with the high-resolution monochromator. The width of a band of a millielectronvolt, however, is much more than the inherent linewidth of the Fe y-radiation, F 10 eV, or the full range of hyperfine-split Mossbauer lines, A m 10 eV. Yet, NFS is detectable because the coherent excitation of the nuclei is caused in the... 

General Routes. If a SAXS beamline in normal transmission geometry is used, calibration to absolute intensity is, in general, carried out indirectly using secondary standards. Direct methods require direct measurement of the primary beam intensity under consideration of the geometrical setup of the beamline. On a routine basis such direct calibration was commercially available for the historic Kratky camera equipped with zero-dimensional detector and moving slit device 14.
