The Contracting Authority puts out to tender the purchase of a hemi-spherical electron energy analyzer to replace the outdated electron spectrometer on a highly productive and versatile synchrotron radiation beamline for physics, chemistry, materials science and catalysis, with a high-performance electron spectrometer for the soft X-ray beamline at ASTRID2.
This beamline is the only instrument on ASTRID2 that is placed on a multipole wiggler, providing high-intensity soft X-ray photons. The new analyzer will replace a more than 20 year old spectrometer that is currently the most severe bottleneck in achieving high-performance X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) on this beamline.
