X-ray magneto-optics and surface science (X-MOSS) beamline at ELETTRA

The elements of the design of the X-MOSS (X-ray magneto-optics and surface science) beamline, to be installed at a bending magnet of the ELETTRA synchrotron radiation facility, are presented. The beamline is intended for optical study (reflectivity and absorption) of low-dimensional systems, typically surfaces and interfaces, with emphasis on magnetic systems. The optical range will extend from visible up to similar to 1400 eV with full control of linear and circular polarisation
