Soft X-ray Diffractometer - TACoDE
Features
Soft X-ray Diffractometer - TACoDE
The soft x-ray diffractometer is designed and constructed for the TACoDE beamline [Ref. 1] at the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). This diffractometer is equipped with a full polarization analyzer and low temperature capabilities. The design of TACoDE is an upgraded version of RASOR [Ref. 2], it preserves all the positive aspects of the RASOR diffractometer while avoiding negative aspects such as in-vacuum cable management.
Compared to RASOR, the following are highlighted features
- Direct provision for water cooling for 2D detector.
- Smaller vacuum chamber size compare to RASOR (1.5 m3)
- Short cryostat length
- Minimize internal wiring
- Minimize vacuum forces on cryostat translations
- Easy access
