High-resolution electron time-of-flight spectrometers for angle-resolved measurements at the SQS Instrument at the European XFEL.

A set of electron time-of-flight spectrometers for high-resolution angle-resolved spectroscopy was developed for the Small Quantum Systems (SQS) instrument at the SASE3 soft X-ray branch of the European XFEL. The resolving power of this spectrometer design is demonstrated to exceed 10 000 (E/ΔE), using the well known Ne 1s3p resonant Auger spectrum measured at a photon energy of 867.11 eV at a third-generation synchrotron radiation source.
