Project Science: XSS Beam Maps

Numerous beam maps for the Electron Impact Point Source (EIPS), Double Crystal Monochromator (DCM), High-Resolution Erect-Field Spectrometer (HIREFS) reflection grating monochromator provide a measure of XSS beam uniformity.

EIPS

Key to EIPS beam map plot filenames
No data	yet

Filtered maps are transmission maps unless there are no unfiltered data, in which case the filtered maps are beam maps.
All beam maps use the same color coding, with contour levels spaced by 0.02 (2%) of full scale.

DCM

Key to DCM beam map plot filenames
Crystal_E0_TargetLine	Unfiltered Beam Map of Line
Crystal_E0	Unfiltered Beam Map of Continuum
Crystal_E0_FilterK2	Filtered (tau=2) Beam Map with Gradient Correction
Crystal_E0_FilterK4	Filtered (tau=4) Beam Map with Gradient Correction

Key to DCM transmission map plot filenames
Crystal_E0_FilterK20 (Filtered/Gradient)_tau=2 / Unfiltered

Crystal_E0_FilterK40 (Filtered/Gradient)_tau=4 / Unfiltered

Crystal_E0_FilterK42 (Filtered/Gradient)_tau4/(Filtered/Gradient)_tau2

Key to DCM transmission map plot filenames
Crystal_E0_FilterK20	(Filtered/Gradient)_tau=2 / Unfiltered
Crystal_E0_FilterK40	(Filtered/Gradient)_tau=4 / Unfiltered
Crystal_E0_FilterK42	(Filtered/Gradient)_tau4/(Filtered/Gradient)_tau2

The K (for K shell) is replaced by L (for L shell) when appropriate.
Filtered maps are transmission maps unless there are no unfiltered data, in which case the filtered maps are beam maps.
All beam maps use the same color coding, with contour levels spaced by 0.02 (2%) of full scale.
