chemRIXS Layout & Specifications
The chemRIXS instrument is comprised of a sample chamber, designed with emphasis on soft X-ray spectroscopy experiments on liquid samples. The instrument is equipped with a suite of detectors allowing for XAS and RIXS/XES measurements.
The endstation is designed to support automated sample transfer via a retractable delivery system. A sample catcher coupled to a re-circulation system will be implemented.

Beamline Specifications
Parameter | Requirement | Note |
