Beamline Schedule http://www.x12c.nsls.bnl.gov/x12c/X12B_Schedule.html
Experiments MAD
Source bending magnet
Ring Current(mA) 300
Average Beam Lifetime 20-40 hours, fill every 12 hours
Spot Size .
Optics .
Flux 0.6x10E(10), X-Ray photons per second through a 200 um aperture, 300 mA, 2.6 G eV, lambda 1 Ang
Flux Details flux measured in 1997 corresponds to NSLS x-ray ring emittance of 90 nm-rad. NSLS x-ray ring emittance has improved to 45 nm-rad, and this has resulted in about a factor of 2 increase in the delivered fluxes. A more up-to-date sampling of the flux is not yet available.
