The Spherical Grating Monochromator (SGM) beamline is a soft x-ray beamline located at the Canadian Light Source. The beamline is equipped with two in-line endstations that can be used for high resolution x-ray absorption spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. The first endstation is maintained at ultra high vacuum and houses a Scienta SES-100 photoelectron spectrometer and a single silicon drift detector. The second endstation (currently under construction) is capable of operation at ambient pressures and uses an array of silicon drift detectors for measurement of partial fluorescence yields. The beam is focussed to 10 microns in this endstation for x-ray fluorescence mapping of light elements.
