Abstract

FinEstBeAMS is a Finnish-Estonian beamline for atmospheric and materials sciences located at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV facility. FinEstBeAMS covers a wide photon energy range, 4.4–1000 eV, and gives an opportunity to probe core and valence levels using light with versatile polarization properties, produced by an elliptically polarizing undulator. FinEstBeAMS received first light in November 2017 and the first test experiments were performed in June 2018. Regular user operation began in April 2019. In this seminar, we will describe the properties and performance of the beamline, present the two end stations currently available – gas-phase and photoluminescence end stations – and show examples of studies performed so far.
