Wide Energy

A new ultrahigh-energy-resolution and wide-energy-range soft X-ray beamline has been designed and is under construction at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The beamline has two branches: one dedicated to angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and the other to photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM). The two branches share the same plane-grating monochromator, which is equipped with four variable-line-spacing gratings and covers the 20–2000 eV energy range. Two elliptically polarized undulators are employed to provide photons with variable polarization, linear in every inclination and circular. The expected energy resolution is approximately 10 meV at 1000 eV with a flux of more than 3 × 1010 photons s−1at the ARPES sample positions. The refocusing of both branches is based on Kirkpatrick–Baez pairs. The expected spot sizes when using a 10 µm exit slit are 15 µm × 5 µm (horizontal × vertical FWHM) at the ARPES station and 10 µm × 5 µm (horizontal × vertical FWHM) at the PEEM station. The use of plane optical elements upstream of the exit slit, a variable-line-spacing grating and a pre-mirror in the monochromator that allows the influence of the thermal deformation to be eliminated are essential for achieving the ultrahigh-energy resolution.

X Ray Absorption

The first experimental applications of the undulator gap-scan technique in X-ray absorption spectroscopy are reported. The key advantage of this method is that during EXAFS scans the undulator is permanently tuned to the maximum of its emission peak in order to maximize the photon statistics. In X-MCD or spin-polarized EXAFS studies with a helical undulator of the Helios type, the polarization rate can also be kept almost constant over a wide energy range.

High Energy Emission

AbstractCritical progress in our understanding of high energy emission from AGN has been determined in the last 10 years by X-ray monitoring campaigns with many space missions, notably ROSAT, ASCA, RXTE, BeppoSAX, and XMM, often in conjunction with observations at other frequencies. The emphasis of the present review is on recent findings about X-ray variability of blazars. Among AGN, these exhibit the largest amplitude variations of the X-ray emission, often well correlated with variations at higher energies (GeV and TeV radiation). The accurate sampling of the X-ray spectra over more than three decades in energy, made possible by the wide energy range of BeppoSAX, has also shown strong spectral variability in blazar active states, suggesting extreme electron energies and leading to the identification of a class of ‘extreme synchrotron’ sources.

AbstractThe SAX satellite is forseen for launch at the end of 1992 to study the X-ray emission from galactic and extra-galactic sources in the energy range 0.1-200 keV. The payload consists of four concentrator/spectrometer systems (3 units 1-10keV, 1 unit 0.1-10keV), a high pressure gas scintillation proportional counter (3-120keV), a phoswich scintillation counter (15-200keV), and two wide field cameras (2-30keV). Together these instruments will perform the following:- - Broad band spectroscopy (E/ΔE=12) in the energy range 0.1-10 keV with imaging resolution of 1 arcmin- Continuum and cyclotron line spectroscopy (E/ΔE=5-20) in the wide energy range 3-200 keV- Variability studies of bright source energy spectra on time scales from milliseconds to days and months- Systematic long term source variability studies in selected regions of the sky down to a source intensity of 1 mCrab.
