We report on the concept and design features of the Quantum Material Spectroscopy Center (QMSC), a state-of-the art XUV and soft X-ray beamline facility currently under construction at the Canadian Light Source. The QMSC will operate within the photon energy from 15 to 1200 eV and is intended for spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES and ARPES).
A distinctive feature of the QMSC is the combination of two independent end stations dedicated to SARPES and ARPES experiments with a unique source consisting of a pair of 4 m long APPLE type undulators. The low- and high-energy undulators will be installed side by side in a switch yard arrangement and will provide the highest possible photon flux within this photon energy range. Complete polarization control in both linear and circular modes will be available. Moreover, the quasiperiodic magnetic structure of the low-energy undulator will result in optimized suppression of the higher order harmonics.
The optical design of the beamline is based on the Variable Line Spacing Plane Grating Monochromator (VLS PGM) design and will deliver 1012 - 1013 photons/second at the experimental stations with a resolving power higher than 104 over the full photon energy range.
The theoretical performance of the beamline will be presented. Research capabilities of the beamline will be illustrated.
