LARIX A<\/strong> is a 12 m beamline equipped with an x-ray tube, providing a total power of 1.8 kW with voltages up to 225 kV, and a Bragg-Bragg fixed exit monochromator, providing a monochromatic beam from 10 up to 200 keV. Thanks to the facility flexibility is ideal for performing linearity tests of hard X-ray detectors, for reflectivity measurements of X-ray reflector samples and to perform ground calibration of hard X-ray experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Bragg-Bragg fixed exit monochromator
– Adjustable collimator near the sample for a beamsize from 0.1 mm x 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm
– X-ray beam path environment: vacuum system and helium
– Sample Holder: 3 linear axis and 1 rotation
– Spectrometer ORTEC nitrogen-cooled HPGe 
– Imager Thales 1024 x 1024 px; 0.3 mm pitch
– Sample environment: Clean room class 105<\/sup> and thermal control system with a stability of \u00b12\u00b0
– Console room for the remote ajdustment of the instrumentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The control room is separated from LARIX A by means of a wall 2.1 m high, made of Al+Pb. From the control room, it is possible to operate all the instrumentation of the beamline, while several BNC, RS-232, USB and Ethernet cables of different lengths are also available for the instrumentation of the users. Four meters of the total beamline are contained inside a class 105<\/sup> clean room where the sample holder and detectors are located. The clean room has a surface area of 12 m2 <\/sup>and a height of 2.1 m.  The room is equipped with a thermal control system with a stability of \u00b12\u00b0. The laboratory is equipped with an UPS system where all the LARIX-A systems are connected. Several power outlets connected to it are also available for the users\u2019 instrumentation. An overhead travelling crane (1000 kg weight\u2013bearing, 20 m long) is installed parallel to the rails and can be used to place the instruments on the beamline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
