Abstract

Abstract : The transfer and upgrade of the SPECIES beamline and its endstation to the 1.5 GeV storage ring at the MAX IV Laboratory is reported. Abstract : The SPECIES beamline has been transferred to the new 1.5 GeV storage ring at the MAX IV Laboratory. Several improvements have been made to the beamline and its endstations during the transfer. Together the Ambient Pressure X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Resonant Inelastic X‐ray Scattering endstations are capable of conducting photoelectron spectroscopy in elevated pressure regimes with enhanced time‐resolution and flux and X‐ray scattering experiments with improved resolution and flux. Both endstations offer a unique capability for experiments at low photon energies in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft X‐ray range. In this paper, the upgrades on the endstations and current performance of the beamline are reported.
