Synchrotron radiation experimental aspects

The properties of monochromatized synchrotron radiation have been discussed in detail in the previous section and the characteristic features of electrostatic spectrometers will be discussed in detail in Chapter 4, with examples of photoionization processes in certain atoms and specific questions of interest presented in Chapter 5. Therefore, the following discussion is restricted to basic aspects of electron spectrometry with monochromatized synchrotron radiation, in particular to some of the fundamental properties of electron spectrometers and to the special polarization properties of this radiation which require appropriate experimental set-ups for angle-resolved electron spectrometry (without spin-analysis for the determination of spin-polarization see Section 5.4). 

A typical S AXS experiment involves a sample and necessary optics that measure the scattered X-rays. Nowadays, with the accessibility of desktop SAXS machines and synchrotron radiation, the latter is taken care of by the manufacturer, technician, or beamUne scientist. In this section, we will discuss practical aspects that the experimenter (as a user) should be concerned with. This entails planning and executing a SAXS experiment, followed by the subsequent data reduction and analysis. 

SFG), have already introduced many new aspects in infrared spectroscopic measurements. This trend will continue in future. However, the Editor believes that many descriptions in this book will not lose their value or relevance, even if infrared lasers more useful than the ones currently existing become available. Also, the book s content is relevant for other more specialized experimental set-ups such as infrared measurements based on utilizing infrared emission radiation from synchrotron orbital resonance (SOR) such facilities are already available at several large-scale, often government, laboratories.
