The VERITAS beamline at the MAX IV 3 GeV ring aims at becoming world leading in the domain of soft X-ray Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS). This will be achieved by fully utilizing the high current and extraordinary emittance of the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring to produce higher resolution and higher photonflux than any existing or foreseen beamline in the 275-1500 eV range. RIXS gives information about the local electronic structure at selected atomic sites, and about local dynamics on the sub-nanometer length and femtosecond time scale. It is ideal for investigation bulk properties and buried structures, and for insitu studies of processes under ambient conditions. The RIXS end-station at VERITAS optimally exploits the outstanding brilliance of MAX IV, and facilitates full control over energy, momentum and angular momentum transfer in the RIXS process. This enables us to explore fundamental excitations on an unprecedented level.
The beamline will provide possibilities for research in physics and chemistry, including materials science, energy materials, and research on correlated systems, catalysis and corrosion. It will facilitate measurements on complex molecular systems, which will widen the potential use into the field of molecular biology.
