Construction and performance test of SGM-TRAIN at UVSOR

A new spherical‐grating monochromator with translational and rotational assembly including a normal‐incidence mount (SGM‐TRAIN) has been constructed at BL5A of the UVSOR facility. The SGM‐TRAIN is an advanced version of a constant‐length SGM with the following improvements: (i) a wide energy range of 5–250 eV; (ii) a high resolving power; (iii) use of linear and circular polarization; (iv) reduction of second‐order light; (v) two computer‐controlled driving modes. Part of the performance tests are reported along with a detailed description of the design.
