Experimental results are presented obtained with a cryogenically cooled high-resolution X-ray spectrometer based on a 141 × 141 µm Nb-Al-Al2O3-Al-Nb superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) detector in an SR-XRF demonstration experiment. STJ detectors can operate at count rates approaching those of semiconductor detectors while still providing a significantly better energy resolution for soft X-rays. By measuring fluorescence X-rays from samples containing transition metals and low-Z elements, an FWHM energy resolution of 6–15 eV for X-rays in the energy range 180–1100 eV has been obtained. The results show that, in the near future, STJ detectors may prove very useful in XRF and microanalysis applications.

Cylindrical Holes

A wide-acceptance-angle spherical grid composed of numerous micro cylindrical holes was developed to be used for the retarding grid of a display-type retarding field analyzer (RFA) and to enhance the energy resolution (E/ΔE). Each cylindrical hole with a diameter of 50 µm and a depth of 80 µm is directed to the spherical center. The inner radius of the spherical grid is 40 mm. The holed area corresponds to an acceptance angle of ±52°. The E/ΔE of an RFA equipped with the developed holed grid was estimated to be 2000 from a measured Au 4f photoemission spectrum. A clear photoelectron hologram was observed in the Mo 4p core-level region of MoS2, indicating that the RFA with the holed grid is effective for photoelectron holography.

Bent Crystals

Wavelength-dispersive high-resolution X-ray spectrometers often employ elastically bent crystals for the wavelength analysis. In a preceding paper [Honkanenet al.(2014).J. Synchrotron Rad.21, 104–110] a theory for quantifying the internal stress of a macroscopically large spherically curved analyser crystal was presented. Here the theory is applied to compensate for the corresponding decrease of the energy resolution. The technique is demonstrated with a Johann-type spectrometer using a spherically bent Si(660) analyser in near-backscattering geometry, where an improvement in the energy resolution from 1.0 eV down to 0.5 eV at 9.7 keV incident photon energy was observed.

First Time

The characteristics of the Jefferson LAB electron beam, together with those of the experimental equipments, offer a unique opportunity to study hypernuclear spectroscopy via electromagnetic induced reactions. Experiment 94-107 started a systematic study on 1p-shell targets, 12 C , 9 Be and 16 O . We present the results from 12 C , 16 O and very preliminary results from 9 Be . For 12 C for the first time measurable strength in the core-excited part of the spectrum between the ground state and the pΛ state was shown in [Formula: see text] for the first time. A high-quality 16Λ N spectrum was produced for the first time with sub-MeV Energy resolution. A very precise B Λ value for 16Λ N , calibrated against the elementary ( e , e ′ K +) reaction on hydrogen, has also been obtained. Final data on 9 Be will be available soon. The missing energy resolution is the best ever obtained in hypernuclear production experiments.

Hypernuclear spectroscopy with electron beam at JLab Hall C has been studied since 2000. The first experiment, JLab E89-009, demonstrated the possibility of the (e, e′ K+) reaction for hypernuclear spectroscopy by achieving an energy resolution of better than 1 MeV (FWHM). The second experiment, JLab E01-011 employed a newly constructed high resolution kaon spectrometer and introduced a vertically tilted electron arm setup to avoid electrons from bremsstrahlung and Moeller scattering. The setup allowed us to have 10 times yield rate and 4 times better signal to accidental ratio with expected energy resolution of 400 keV (FWHM). The third experiment, JLab E05-115 will be performed in 2009 with employing newly constructed high resolution electron spectrometer and a new charge-separation magnet. With the fully customized third generation experimental setup, we can study a variety of targets up to medium-heavy ones such as 52 Cr .

To improve our knowledge of arsenic local environment in sulfide minerals, Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS) maps and High-Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detected (HERFD) XANES measurements are performed at the As K-edge. In addition, the spectra are compared to XANES modelled through first-principles calculations.
